Thanks for the informatiom i have been struggling trying to update my software from garmin express and it gets about half way through and then shows error but your update worked like a charm. thanks again I'm one of those senior adults that did not grow up with a computer
A big thank you for great job on explaning the downloading proceedure..for 3 days i've been fighting this download and watching your video showed me exactly what i was doing wrong..WAS'NT EXTRACTING the file..thanks again..
I guess that you do the 1242sxv the same way, Just got to figure out what update to put on a new unit. Thanks for the info. I am 75 years old and this is new to me.
Thanks so much for going over this! Getting ready to update my 2 units. Wondering, I have a 93sv and 73dv. Can I use the same card and update both units w/o redownloading the card from the computer a second time.
Just a heads up- the process for downloading and putting the files on the SD card has changed slightly. The download is no longer the wizard that copies the files for you. It's a ZIP file that you have to extract yourself and manually copy the "Garmin" folder to the SD card. There's more detailed instructions on the download page.
I have a 74sv and trying to add lakevu g3 so I can see freshwater so I just bought a micro sd lakevu from garmin. Do I need to do this to the mircro sd card before adding it into my 74sv?
Ive been watching your videos for some time now and really have got alot from them. I have a 3 yr old 93sv and ive decided to update it..questions..mine has a micro SD in it now. Do i use it or get a new one and save that..? Also ive read you must power up th black box during updating. Do i need to disable sonar? Was told not good to run out of water..thanks from e tex
I loaded the Garmin express app to my computer then take a blank card plug into your unit plug it into the computer then open express and hit add a device it will transfer your unit into then when there’s a update it will show it plug in a blank card upload quick and easier for me instead of stepping through Garmin’s page.
Have you looked at this process lately? I just followed along and whenever I select download under Echomap page it goes back to the original screen at 3:14 in your video. I ma trying to get from 19.20 to 20.00 on my 106SV and from 2.57 to 2.58 on my GLS10 and my Active captain and Garmin Express is not showing either upgrade available? Hoping you see this comment and have some insight. I have done multiple upgrades over the years and have never had this issue. Thanks!
My laptop computer must be setup different. The wizard doesn’t pop up. I’ve manually downloaded and followed the directions and when I insert the sd card the unit doesn’t show any updates on tue card.
Brother that’s the old one. I’m gonna post the new updated how to updating your units. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XJqi_6mw2xM.html
having a problem after the purchase of used boat with Garmin Live Scope. It keeps saying registered to another person. Have Active Captain thru my apple phone. yet nothing will bluetooth. have a SD card in the 93. Any help or how to call someone in walking thru the steps. thanks.
So I have two 122SV's (Version 13.20) and then one 126SV (Version 17.10). Based on your tutorial it appears the software download would be the same for all three. Once I download my SD card, I can update all three in one shot without having to download the update on the SD card 3 times, correct? That being said I believe my 122SV's are linked, so they may both download at the same time. For Active Cast and Livescope, do those require updates as well? Sorry for all the questions, new to Garmin. Thank you sir!
Yes you can use the same card to update all with the same card. With the ones that are linked as long as both are powered up it will update both at the same time. As long as the black box is powered up and connected up it will update also
Great video! Quick technical question - my 94SV that I just bought and installed recently is extremely laggy, slow, and pixelated when zooming navigation from one area to another. Like 15-30 seconds to render the new location. All firmware and chart updates are current. Navionics on my phone was FAR more snappy and responsive. Any ideas? Garmin support was, well, unsupportive. 🤷♂
That’s strange because there support is usually top notch. But the 94 has a single processor and if you have lots of data loaded it will slow down unfortunately. Gpsmap series are much faster
@@The_Garmin_Guru Thanks for the reply. There's almost nothing stored on it. Just came out of the box last week. Only the updates. Appreciate it though. 👍
I just installed a 126SV a few weeks ago. I am going to purchase a 93SV this week and need to know weather I can use the card I used for my 126SV for the new one to update the software ? Thanks
I got to the point of extracting the info , but mine didn’t show the downloading the extracting like yours did, and I never saw the Wizard . Any ideas where I could have gone wrong?
Is this the latest software update or just update on mapping? I just did the software 2 days ago and am wondering if this was part of the update of if it is a separate update for maps. If this was for both then I just leave the SD card in and maps are updated?
great video! I am very new to this and have a question for you...I recently bought a new 2022 boat and it has twin Garmin UHD 93SV units version 14.3 US Lakes but i will be going off the west coast of Florida. I do have the BlueChart G3 map for all us and western canada. My question is do I update the units first to the most up to date version and then insert the G3 maps or vice versa? Also do i update each unit individually or can I assume they are connected together and will update together if i just do 1 of them.
@@The_Garmin_Guru so I can do like your video and update the micro SD card to just get the latest version for the units and then put the G3 Blue chart SD card in to have the maps? The SD card used for the update is removed afte the updat or does it stay in the chart plotter? One with the update card and one with the map card?
I'm trying to upload the newest software updates of my ECHOMAP 74cv using Garmin Express. I put my Garmin SD card in my computer and open Express. I get a warning that says \"Do not use Garmin Map Card. This process will reformat the card and erase all of it's current data." Do I need to get a new blank SD card and run the update onto that and then upload it into my GPS? Sorry man, I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to this stuff.
Is there a update for the black box as well? If so is it within this update? if not can you download both updates to the same card before putting in the unit?
Couple questions. I bought my 93sv from someone who never updated it. It’s at version 16.10. I also have the Panoptix system and am unsure what software is on the black box. My questions: do I still need to format the sd card if it is a blank, brand new out of the box SD card? 2, do I leave my black box connected via Ethernet hub during the update or do I disconnect it?
Just got my unit Gpsmap1022 ... Do I need to down load all updates or is there certain ones to do ... That are more app for what is needed .... Thank you
I didn’t see anything about this here…. And some people have separate/disconnected power to there black box… So when updating off water in your garage, etc., Garmin told me to make sure black box has power and is connected to your display unit, transducer connection is not necessary for update…. From Garmin Support. ??
There is a new method. See attached video. Garmin Livescope Update: How To Download New Update To A SD Card and The Heavy Hitters Winner ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XJqi_6mw2xM.html
@@The_Garmin_Guru I had a guy on my boat on monday and he showed me some things, but the weather went crappy. So I'll try what we learned from him and go from there. Hope your ok with the scary weather down your way. Believe it or not I was thinking of you, when I heard about the tornadoes. God Speed to all those affected.
I live in longbeach Mississippi .bass fisherman . Anybody close by who would help a 67 year old man with a little hands on update . I have a 93 -a 106 and live scope . I need help please .I’m on the ms coast . Longbeach ms
@@The_Garmin_Guru I could never get the chartplotter to work but I bought the 93sv that was supposed to come pre installed. So after a year of mess around with it, I bought a Garmin maps SD card thinking well maybe this will work. Still doesn't. I got a friend that's supposed to take a look at it and then I was going to call Garmin support.
