I updated mine. Little tip for y’all. If you have IPhone, go into your settings……. Go to notifications….. select messages and turn off notifications…. Go back to phone notifications and turn them off also. That should take care of anyone calling or texting during the update

[@nathanclay9694]

It’s been a year and I haven’t attempted to update my Garmin....UNTIL NOW!! Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.

[@raypepi]

Excellent Demo which is quite rare given the many clumsy attempts by others to explain any chart plotter operation. Good job and thank you

[@christinecolby440]

Thank you very much for this video it made setting up the active captain and performing the updates needed easy to understand for our 94sv.

[@vincentighian6493]

Fantastic instructions. It would have taken me a whole day to figure all this out. Thank you

[@Williampinion25]

By far., the most informative channel on youtube!

[@SteveSRandomStuff]

I just purchased a 106sv and as a new user to Active Captain the steps were a little different for a new user, but the screen prompts and your tips guided me through the process. Thanks

[@garrettpaul5626]

Thanks for your help. I have a diff Garmin unit but your info still helped even when Garmin's customer service is/was useless

[@briancox8602]

Thank you for this great instructional video it made my sv122 setup very easy. With a good high speed internet connection I did this in under 30 minutes. Straight to the point and step by step.

[@Gunrunner223]

This was great! Now I can update my 2 units! I'm sorta computer and phone savy, but reading these steps seemed difficult. Thanks for making it look easy.

[@pwea1anda294]

he just said do the one and the second one follows automatically ... uhhh

[@TheKarenjh]

This is FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you for another needed how-to video. I hope you get your cookies!!!

[@DHW448]

Great video and thank you so much for it. I am old an computer stupid and these are my first graphs. I got it updated and it was "clear enough" because of this video that I could do it. Thanks again

[@dougiefresh2521]

Thank you. Looks like you have a really nice shop and I’ll bet you treat your customers well.

[@BRANDON_FISHIZZLE]

Super helpful! Thanks for putting this together. Updated my unit tonight!

[@roberttanner4225]

Thanx for sharing the info! I just set up both of my Wave Runners, one with ECHOMap UHD 73CV and the other ECHOMap UHD 73SV. Off to the back country now!

[@kenn1320]

Thanks for this video. I was winging it based on garmin video and it was taking hours. The part they don't mention is to switch from the garmin wireless back to your home/local wifi. Once I did that, it downloaded in seconds.

[@richardvanhorn9636]

Finally able to upgrade software on garmin with your great and easy to follow video

[@toddodle8688]

Great video. Very informative! Have been holding off on updates but you gave me confidence to try it!

[@RealMitchRapp]

Thanks for making my update a breeze. Great info video!

[@nightfalladventures.5163]

Thanks much needed, just installed livescope last night!

[@anthonymaggiore5905]

I just watch the video and I updated my Garmin. I appreciate your videos thank you!

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

I'm glad we could help!

[@billsnapper8511]

Thanks for the video. I updated my Garmin 942 and I'm sure it would have been nerve-racking had I not known how long it would take as my screen went blank and when it was updating the brightness was so low I could barely see it in bright sun. Everything came back up and worked well.

[@jamesmnoblesjr9062]

Stuck on software updates page, just like hundreds of other fisherman:((((((

[@jamesmnoblesjr9062]

This video is extremely informative and I’m a moron,it took 2 hrs of pushing buttons on different screens and I got it. Got her done in the parking lot of Campground:)))

[@joelangley1462]

A BIG THANK You Josh and the cookies are on the way I'll be home the day before Thanksgiving and they should be on the way soon after

[@SavageVoyageur]

Thanks for the video, very helpful one year later for a refresher.

[@toddtuskowski2202]

This video was VERY helpful. Thank you very much!

[@aaronrawson3745]

Thanks for this video. Very easy to follow.

[@tjgim]

Thank you for these instructions.

[@amaliagarcia8856]

Thank you! Most helpful video yet!

[@ronniekotler9265]

Excellent video, it just help me update my 73sv. Thank you

[@larrychandler8071]

Great video. Thanks for your help!

[@TheJeffro941]

Great video guys!!! Thanks so much👍🏼💯🎣⚓🧭🚤🍻

[@tjaniga]

Very well done. Thank you!

[@DougsMessyGarage]

Great explanation. I had kind of muddled my way through and got it working but it would have been easier to have seen this video first.

[@Smalltechguy]

I've never updated mine yet. My unit is working superbly

[@jcook8191]

Awesome straight forward vid, thanks 👍🏻

[@barbreyers6696]

Very helpful video, and a real good looking guy! Thank you.

[@grahamwiggs1611]

Thanks so much! Great video

[@Fishnfreak]

Thanks for your help!

[@robertconquest5497]

Great job Josh

[@tyhoward1315]

great video. Thank you

[@kayakwesty]

Thank you for this

[@Greataviator1]

Excellent!!!!

[@eppem]

Great tutorial, thanks! My unit is flush mounted so I need to take it out to access the memory card in the back. Question? Can we just leave the card in for the next update or does it need to be removed each time? Tx

[@DoubleTFishing]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@ernie9819]

Great information, Thanks

[@stanleycole4096]

Great video!!

[@stevenhartman254]

Great job josh!

[@jorgefigueroa7573]

Hello thank you for the Video. Once everything is complete, do you leave the micro card installed in the unit or can you take it out for later usage?

[@dennyhendrickson1822]

Thank you!

[@brendanpierpoint3269]

Sounds like a 6 pack job,but I'll have crack when it turns up,Cheers for the great Video👍

[@ronniewetherington509]

Thanks for sharing

[@pmaertens]

thank you verry usefull information

[@jameswaller6514]

If i have 2 7601's and 2 8610's along with Livescope, am I still OK with a single update with different models? GREAT Video... Thank you!

[@carytucker5752]

Thank you so very much. I was able to update my Garmin unit. One quick dump question... i don't have to leave the chip in the unit as the update is stored on the unit's harddrive now correct? Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

[@bill-qv3er]

I am going to attempt this tomorrow on my new 126SV. Do you leave the SD card in the unit when you are done ? Great video !! Thanks

[@GuideMasterMike]

Thank you will be doing this today

[@kevinbragg4043]

When updating networked units does the other unit have to be turned on and what not for it to update both units at the same time?

[@hooks4nooks]

So that's updaters my Garmin with updates. If I have the vessel view mobile on motor and app, will my phone stay synced with Garmin 94sv and I can just use the engine icon on the Garmin to look at RPM's, GPM, hours on motor, etc?

[@tylertyson4457]

Great video, I just bought a Garmin GPSMAP 743xsv. I am going to have it professionally flush mounted. I noticed that there is an SD card in one of the 2 slots which is in the rear of the unit. I am not sure what's on the card. Should I leave it in or take it out. I did install a blank card into the second slot, what should I do?

[@gingerhicks1034]

Great video

[@jeffsloniker8840]

Can you add perspective mode this way? Using active captain?

[@johncapilupo9852]

Great info. thanks , my question is if you have 2 units or more do you have to have both of them on or powered up.Thanks

[@whenboysetsfire1]

You do then one at a time

[@mikedixon3292]

Do you think Garmin will ever have a update that allows the 93sv uhd echo map to be able to use the helm feature in active captain

[@grhodes3536]

Thanks I just updated my ECHOMAP Ultra 106sv to v14.10 and I think my Panoptix Livescope system is now on v2.53. Is there anyway to confirm that? I see 14.10 on the software settings screen. Just not sure where to go to confirm the Panoptix software version?

[@user-rv3wh9rh8z]

Do you have to leave the micro SD card in the unit after updating? And I know you said it’ll update all other units connected in the network…. Does that include the GLS 10 black box? Thanks!

[@shawnfinato9227]

Can you advise on what to do if the transfer is interrupted? The Garmin has “Transfer Interrupted” warning but I can’t get it to start the sync again and finish. Pretty frustrating.

[@thatruthhurts1670]

I just purchased the garmin striker plus 7 cv and garmin strike plus 4 my 4 is at the console because it was to replace the small lowrance and 7 is at the bow if I update the 4 will it automatically update the 7 ant the bow??

[@davidrose1134]

If u have multiple units doing the software update with ActiveCaptain , does all units have to be turned on ?

[@mickeylindsey7325]

Sorry for the stupid question- do I have to use a new micro as card to create an active captain card each time I update ? If no is it ok to just click to reformat the current card ? If yes what do I do with the old active captain card?

[@kylefishing21]

How does this change if you have 2 units linked together?

[@bido8176]

How much memory do you need on an iPhone to download the Garmin vision/Navionics maps?

[@raceno282]

Great video thanks

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mattmurray1603]

Would love some advice. My ActiveCaptain app on my phone says there are updates for my unit but when I try to transfer, nothing happens. Garmin Echomap says the unit is up to date and no updates available. I believe this is causing my Panoptix to no not power up. Help please!! Have you ever seen this before?

[@ronaldschneider8451]

Hi I already have a 32gb in use in my echomap plus do I need to format the card

[@madison.outdoors]

Thank you for the info. With the multiple units on board, does that mean only garmin units or can it be garmin and 2 lowrances or vice versa?

[@Erklzanderz]

Different brands will require different software, so I dont think you can eve. link them, let alone update them together.

[@wramsey193]

Do you have to leave the memory card in at all times once this process is finished?

[@richardmontgomery6173]

Just purchased a Livescope 34 with a 1022 chart plotter. What do you recommend for garmins best detailed map program. Do I use active captain or is it like humminbird where you just insert the lakemaster unit. Is it possible to transfer my humminbird waypoints to my 1022? Thanks!

[@Spicy-Tuna]

Hey there. I just got another 1243xsv to pair with a 943. Is it possible to share custom combo views or do you have to make custom views for each unit?

[@bigtrout]

Late to the party here but, does the SG card have to stay in for the update to remain or after the process do you pull it back out?

[@melloreel]

Just an update to this! I just installed the software update on my new 94sv UHD, and it did not go as simple as his! 4 hours, 3 SD cards later I finally get it installed! Mine moved much slower than his, so as he said be patient. Each time mine got to 100% validation on the update, my unit would pause. I checked all the suggested items on screen, hence 3 SD cards, however I decided to try my iPad as opposed to the IPhone 8 Plus I was using. The update installed correctly that time! So just for anyone in the future if it pauses try a different device to download from. Hope this saves someone like me from going crazy in the future! JMO.

[@lching7491]

I’m having problems with my install also. I’ll try an iPad next. Maybe it’s the cellular connection. I’ll try again with my iPhone on airplane mode

[@melloreel]

@@lching7491 Try to get on wifi somewhere! It moves a lot of data and not sure cellular will work? Good luck and be patient.

[@jeromygarlits8947]

What if the garmin was previously owned and had updates previously done. Has a card in it. Do I still need a new card. Tried to do a update but said something about a guest can't make changes?????

[@papachulo2753]

Thank u

[@malcolmzoll7613]

Dose the Livescope needs to be turned on ?

[@77dianadi]

Thank you so much for this great video! It helped us so much.

[@ghostuna1500]

if I change the update simcard to a different one what will happens?

[@meeyou3128]

most important step: MAKE SURE PHONE DOESN'T GO TO SLEEP!!!

[@briankeevan8134]

I'd like to update the Garmin 8612's in my center console. I noticed the main unit already has a memory card in one of the 2 sd card slots on the back of it. I'm guessing this is perhaps my Navionics cartography chip. Do I ignore it & follow these steps, using the empty SD card slot next to it, or should I take a different approach? Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.👍

[@TonyGill1000]

Do I have to have the phone app active captain running all the time while I’m using the Garmin unit on the boat?

[@shyguy8240]

Hello, Do one echomap download for all Garmin series? If so, can you use the same SD card for updating the 93sv then remove it and put it in the 106sv and download the same??

[@bido8176]

Bought navionics vision + but nothing seems to transfer when I connect to the Garmin unit wifi from my phone. Any ideas?

[@tbrown737]

i updated my bow garmin 93sv but how do i update my console unit 73sv thats not connected by ethernet?

[@antonioprado8068]

Do I need various cards cause I was cause use the same card to have the updates, routes and activecaptain. Or does it require separate cards for different assignments

[@jasongillies6686]

You say you can update Garmin units on ethernet network but can you also update items on NMEA network?

[@ardadegirmenci5347]

Hi can you remove the memory card after the install or it has to be plugged in?

[@noisyboy4985]

If I buy a new Garmin will it come updated or do I have to do that myself?

[@tylerplatts4151]

I managed to update both of my units. However, on my console unit I accidentally hit the breaker switch in power down. During update. I turn it back on and managed to finish the update and it says vessel is up to date but I feel like my graph isn't reading right. Should I factory reset it and do the process over?

[@gar58]

I have two Echomap UHD 93SV’s. I set up a password for their WiFi, they are linked. Should I use the same password when making a password for ActiveCaptain? Are they all considered as the same network? Also, when making the ActiveCaptain card it registers the units? Right now without a card made, when I turn on my ActiveCaptain app it says no devices registered. Thanks

[@300zxdriver]

How do you do updates if your screen doesn’t come on?

[@mbonneville1]

I lost my simulation mode when I updated my units. How do I keep the latest version and restore simulation mode?
