Saturday i found my hds was jumping all over the place once id found a wreck and tried to work out the drift or anchoring position,so bad that i ended up relying on my backup plotter which was stable.Had a word with Matt at MES asking if i needed a external aerial thinking it would have a better refresh rate,but he said that it should be fine and to do a ......HARD RESET.....which should settle it down

Hold.....zoom in and zoom out whilst power is off

Then press and hold Power so .....all 3 buttons are pressed

KEEP HELD until language selection appears

Master reset for HDS plotters.....possibly due to latest update

To be safe BACK UP MARKS and WAYPOINTS you have

Hope this helps others as well

Be sure to back up your waypoints and marks first

 

As these resets can lose them. They also lose any customised setting on mine, like the information showing over the top of the plotter map. speed bearing heading to mark etc.

 

Not a major problem if you know and have time to reset it all.

 

The first time it happened to me I thought the set was defective.
