I have Apex units in my boat. I store them indoors in the winter, and after hooking them up this year, and installing the new update, my VX chip won’t read or be recognized. That is, unless I change slots repeatedly, reboot the graph, and ding around with it for 15 minutes or so. There is no process that I can find that consistently makes it work. I spoke with very pleasant people at humminbird tech support twice, and both times they said they were aware of this problem and there would be a update/patch coming “soon”. They sent me the legacy map to download to a blank chip as a work around, but that doesn’t work either. On the BBC forums, I just found a thread talking about this a year ago. And yet, even with a new update in Feb 2024, no fix.
1. Does anyone else have this problem? And if so, do you have a way to consistently make your chip work.
2. Anyone know how soon “soon” is?
I feel like for the cost of these units, any widespread technical issues should be resolved a lot quicker than this.
