No problems here... I bought an old regular SD card for the updates (vs HC) because I read somewhere that HC won't work.

I'm trying it again now. I bought a card reader and will use my Mac to download and upload the 4.0

Maybe my friend missed a step with his PC.

I will advise.

The update instructions are not very clear from the Lowrance website. As Wade stated, you have to download the file from their site, then run the downloaded file to uncompress the files. Then save those files to your SD card.

Success
Upgrade complete.

-You know what they say.... If you want something done right - do it yourself.

It turns out the expert government computer troubleshooter (by profession) that loaded the 4.0 file onto the SD card for me did it WRONG.
-and swore it was not the card.

-and swore he conformed it was on the card properly

Hmmm...I'm startin' to think he doesn't want me to catch fish.
