    I have the lx7 vs 2.9 and it seems to work pretty well. I’ve heard the horror stories with the 3.1 version. I’m scared to jump on the 3.17 update just before a long awaited trip. What I need is for others to do the upgrade ASAP and report back to me. Also, do your testing on Castle Rock Lake, and if successful, give me the GPS coordinates where you found walleye. Thanks, I know I can count on you guys, you’re the greatest.

    To bad I only have a LX-5 or I could give you my top 3of walleye spots. If I had a LX-7 I would throw you in a couple of crappie spots on the yellow side so you could fish with the rest of the clowns. Tight lines and good luck with the upgrade.

    If it’s working well the way it is, wait til the new program gets the bugs worked out. No sense in being on the ice with a troubled electronic

    Don’t try and fix what is not broken.

    So are you saying everyone that fishes on the Yellow River side of the lake are clowns

    I loaded the lx7 v3.17 and ran out for a quick test, worked great. It’s well worth upgrading from 2.9 for the gain improvements alone.

    Glad to hear this, I got it loaded up on my 7 and will be out on the lake in the morning to check it out.

    No not all are but there are plenty over there having the same arguments every year between perms and brush piles. Just doing a play on user name.

    Ok, got out for a few hours with the update on my LX-7, I did not get a chance to use the dynamic depth as I was fishing a lake with a maximum depth of 9 feet and when I turned dynamic and automatic on they both defaulted to 10 feet and I think that might be new in this update but I’m not sure. It seemed like it was a little less jumpy than 2.9, I also noticed that at low sensitivity settings the bottom would show up just fine but the depth readout would say 0, it did not effect anything and I already knew what depth I was fishing anyway. So far thumbs up and I really liked the chart zoom.
