You will also find a new setting under Sonar > Installation called In older software, you had to manually tell the unit you were using the HDI Skimmer. Now it negotiates automatically.

Set a calendar reminder for every March and October. Check the Lowrance site. By keeping your Elite 9 current, you ensure that when you finally find that submerged rock pile holding trophy bass, your GPS marks it accurately, and your CHIRP shows it clearly.

Let’s be honest: Most of us treat our fish finders like toasters. We buy them, mount them on the console, and expect them to work perfectly forever without any maintenance. But here’s the hard truth—your Lowrance Elite-9 Chirp is a mini-computer. And just like your laptop or smartphone, it needs regular software updates to run at its peak.

Custom Routing Profiles

You can save your customizations to routing profiles directly in your browser and also load them from there. No longer needed custom profiles can also be deleted.

These customizations are only visible for you and in the currently used browser and not for other users.

If you want to use your custom profiles on other devices, you should save them on your computer. This way you also have a backup in case you reset your browser.

To transfer custom profiles to another computer, use the settings export feature to download all important Bikerouter settings, including your custom profiles. On the new computer, import the downloaded file using the import settings feature. Export and import buttons are located in the main dropdown menu.
