I always had some kind of issue getting updates on my Mac then to a card, then when it came to installing there were often several ways recommended. Often I would be going through step by step before needing to call Lowrance tec who would nearly always turn around and say they knew of a glitch and the unit would have to be posted in.

Now I only need to be within about 50m of my house and the gen 3 automativly does it itself without. I can also sit in the comfort of my lounge chair and setup the Lowrance in my boat using my iPad with Bluetooth. I'm far from a tec head but these newer units are now so simple to navigate through even with more features on offer.
