PBG and 3d stop working

[Yan]

Hi,

I have updated the tzt16f with the v3.70.1 software. Since then I cannot record and the 3d is not working as well.

Ensure you have heading, that the speed isn't too fast or slow. If you have tide graph in the NavData boxes; remove it. The tide graph is reported to be causing some machine slowdowns with v3.70.1 but will be addressed in the next software version.

I have the tide on. Ill take it out. How I can check if he heading is working?

OT, when I go off shore the tides don't work anymore, there is a way to download or make it work also off shore?

Thanks

You need to be inshore enough to be near a tide station. Hit HOME - TIDE to see the nearest tide station on the fly.
Heading and GPS position are a requirement to record PBG. Normally the heading source like your autopilot should be turned ON. Heading can be checked in a data box to see if you have numbers.

It was the tide on the side bar. Now all working. Thank you. When the next update?

I am guessing around April.

Recommend not hijacking threads but here is a cut from the manual.

Hello, I was recording and after a while stopped working once again. 3d is working, just not recording. Tide are off.

PBG requires good signal and speed of the boat and other factors can keep it from recording. PBG is recorded to the memory card that has your mapping at the back of the machine. It would be recommended to ensure you have enough free space left on the memory for storing data.
