I have a HELIX7 MDI G3N and a HELIX9 MSI G3N. I was looking at the website and I saw there was an update (to 2.280 for both models). I’ve updated both and all is good. There is also a basemap update – to 2.010. I downloaded the update for the 7 and installed – all is good. On their website, for the 9-10-12 models, the link downloads version 1.031 of the map. Am I missing something?? Where’s the 2.010 for the 9, 10, and 12 models?? Can I use the same download in the 9 as I used in my 7??

I own 5 Helixes. 7’s 9’s and 10’s
The 2.28 update is different for a 9 vs a 10 and so on… also a GPS vs a mdi or a msi unit are different downloads.
You need to download the correct link that fits your model and everything should work fine. The update #’s might list the same but there’s something underlying that makes them different per model.July 13, 2020 at 10:43 pm #1957004I get that different models may have different OS and such… But this is on their website for the 9 MSI G3N: “Begin downloading the Humminbird Basemap v 2.010 file by clicking this link: Humminbird Basemap v 1.031 Download” – so this starts with telling to download basemap v 2.010 by clicking a link for the v 1.031 download… Probably just a copy-and-paste issue (or the link is misdirected)…

July 15, 2020 at 3:56 pm #1957537The 7’s on down always had lesser options and detail than the 9’s and above. My guess is that the under 7’s have an entirely different base map.
