Hi, I notice that there is a December update for the Lowrance 3500C chartplotter available fronm the Lowrance website. This may be of interest to some of our Forumites. Ian

Thanks Ian. I'll download and see if it fixes any of the tidal bugs (before I have my yearly moan on the Lowrance stand at LBS!)

Just did it. First observations:

The good news...they seem to have fixed the problem with tidal data corruption on Navionics charts on three data-point days.

Not known as yet...do the DST / GMT bug fixes work in tides and current?

The bad news...the fathom / metre problem on the tidal "T" pop-up is still there /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

So it seems I'll still have to make a nuisance of myself on their LBS stand...

PS - just noticed that undefined lights (eg. fixed red) show up as little lighthouses now on Navionics charts. I'm sure this is different...and adds a little to the clutter. On the other hand, they are much more obvious now! Does anyone know if the NauticPath charts have any updates? The info is at least 2-years old now and probably more.
