Thought I would pass on some plotter updates here. Most manufacturers offer free software updates for plotters. These are free and supply you with new and exciting features. It is worth the few minutes to download them. New software from Humminbird, Raymarine, Lowrance and Simrad are all easily accessible. H
ere are two new features for HDS Gen2 units. shallow water highlights and depth contour shading.
There was also an update for the Lowrance Elite7 plotter. http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Software-Updates/Elite-7/
All GPS enabled Elite-7 units will now support Navionics mapping content with 1ft contours. In addition to enhanced contour content, we have increased the resolution of Navionics content when zoomed in close.
