Make sure the update is not in a folder.
And make sure it's unzipped.

You can also try browsing to the file from the head unit directly.

You may have to find the actual file on your head unit. It should be under settings somewhere.

Just recently did the Fish Reveal update on my Lawrence TI7. After putting the file into the Micro SD card with my map upgrade I also added the file for the MLPA's to show on my charts. I reinstalled it in the unit and powered it up. Had to go to setting and find were the files are. Find the new file select it and select import file. Than bingo everything was there

Anyone seeing any problems with this upgrade. I know Tony said he had some issues with his Temp sensor after the upgrade but I have seen 2 or 3 weird things happen to my HDS 7 Gen 3 after the upgrade. It has been absolutely solid since I got it and now it seems a little buggy. Got on the water this morning and powered it up and I had no way points, routes or trails. Re-boot and they were back. Later with my chart up I wanted to zoom out and when I hit the + it started zooming out and I couldn't stop it. I switched to Sonar and back to chart and tried the zoom in and it did the same thing. Re-boot and everything was back to normal. An odd coincidence right after the upgrade.

If it’s not in a folder you’ll have to search or browse for it. If you place the file onto the card, and not place it into a folder it should update automatically. At least that’s the way it works on HDS units.

So far I haven’t had any trouble other than the temp getting screwed up on my unit rossman. So far has functioned as expected.

Does it matter what operating system I download from?
I have both Mac and pc ? Is this gonna be easier on pc? Thanks for everyone’s help. Also what format should the micro card be formatted with? Fat 32? I got a new carbon and this went so much easier. I was able to connect the head unit with my WiFi at home and download directly to a card installed on head unit . Reboot and done . Simple . This hds gen 3 I have had for years with no issues. Version 1 still . Lol

I would say PC would be a little more user friendly for the update. I’ve never had to reformat a memory card for FF. Typically the file you upload to the card is already in correct format for the unit. |

I used an older MacBookPro and did not need to format anything just download the file and copy it to the memory card and not install it inside any other folder on the card.

Just a suggestion if you're having problems updating - consider just leaving it alone. I mean you don't need the update and others have issues with it anyway. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

If all you are trying to do is download the Fish Reveal upgrade, it can be done using your internet connection using the Units built in Wi-Fi. That's easier to do if you know how to sign on to your Wireless Network. Downloading files to a card required going to the setting for the unit not the chart or sounder settings. It makes it harder to find the file so it can be used. Once you find it you don't need to look for again. It is so hard for us older guys to figure out, any more problems just find a tech saby smart ass 10 year old.
