GPS sub menu...and upgrades...
Good to GPS sum-manu now in manual.
As for upgrade - I suppose they must be good especially if they're free providing you return the chip in time, but...
I've been using PC-Planner and the (v15 to v16?) upgrade made quite a mess of the "planned" routes. In pcp you can place "buoy" icons and choose their colour - that's quite useful to me where we were sailing in the Baltic. After the "upgrade" all the "buoys" turned into boat launching ramps - no "bouy" icons available and as for selecting icon colour - forget it! Maybe just a small thing but this was an upgrade that appeared to me to be a dumbing down and did not appear to improve functions imho nor correct bugs - certainly no bugs mentioned in any of the sparse upgrade details available at that time. You would think that since the plotter uses C-Map chips that SH would at the very least liaise with C-Map regarding how upgrades might impact upon other user software.
