Appendix
TB-82258 / June 15, 2016 HDS Gen3 (SW version 3.5) and HDS Gen2 touch (SW version 5.5) trail persistence issue Product: All SKU s Product Description: HDS Gen2 Touch & HDS Gen3 Software Version: HDS G2T 5.5 & HDS Gen3 3.5 Effective Date: 26 June 2016 Inspect/Update Current Inventory: No HDS users importing Waypoints, Routes & Trails (WRT) saved from a previous software version may experience an issue with trails disappearing from their HDS unit after the unit is powered off. This will be corrected in an upcoming software update, but in the interim, a workaround is available that addresses this issue. Users not re-importing or replacing their WRT file after the software update to 3.5 (Gen3) or 5.5 (Gen2 Touch) should not have issues with existing trail data Users saving WRT files in 3.5 or 5.5 also should not have issues with trail persistence when data is imported How to Back up Waypoints, Routes & Trails: Press the Pages key Select Files Select Waypoints, Routes, Trails and Trips database Select Export Select User data file version 5 Select Export Select the desired memory card destination (Left or Right) Press OK Select New or if there are no other WRT files on the card. (Change the file Name, if desired) Select Enter. Executing the Workaround: If the WRT file was exported from software version 3.0 (Gen3), 5.0 (Gen2 Touch) or earlier, you will need to perform the workaround. Insert the SD or microsd card containing the Exported/Saved WRT file into the card slot Import the WRT file from the SD/microSD card to an HDS unit running software version 3.5 (Gen3) or 5.5 (Gen2 Touch) Before attempting to power off or reboot the HDS unit, re-export the WRT file from the HDS unit running software version 3.5 (Gen3) or 5.5 (Gen2 Touch) Follow the steps above for exporting a WRT file. Power Cycle the Unit Re-import the WRT file created on the HDS unit with software version 3.5 (Gen3) or 5.5 (Gen2 Touch). Follow the steps above to Import the WRT file. 25 Navico Company Confidential
