Simrad® Marine Electronics, a leader in marine electronics and navigation, are pleased to announce the release of software version 26.1-72.1.28 which is suitable for:

  • NSS®evo3/3S MFD
  • NSO®evo3/3S MPU & MFD
  • SonarHub™ Module
  • S5100 Sonar Module
  • S3100 Sonar Module
  • S3100H Sonar Module
  • StructureScan® 3D Module
  • ActiveTarget® Module
  • ActiveTarget® 2 Module
  • ActiveTarget® 2 XL Module

The following features & improvements are included:

  • ActiveTarget® 2 XL Support. New with the 26.1 software update is support for the all-new ActiveTarget® 2 XL System.
  • ActiveTarget® Beam Indicator Icon Accuracy Improvements. For optimal ActiveTarget® Beam Indicator Icon accuracy, the MFD must be connected to a NMEA2000 network that includes a Heading Sensor.
  • Airmar® Chirp Improvements. Sensitivity and target return strength improvements when using Airmar® High-Wide and Medium Chirp transducers.
  • Support for SideScan and DownScan imaging functionality when using the StructureScan® 3D module with Simrad NSX® and NSS4® systems. Simrad NSX® and NSS4® systems do not natively recognize the StructureScan® 3D module as a valid sonar source without this software update. As a result, SideScan, and DownScan imaging capabilities are unavailable when interfacing the SS3D module with NSX® and NSS4® displays.

Note 1: presently there is no dedicated SS3D app.

Note 2: now Simrad NSX® and NSS4® displays can use StructureScan® 3D module as a sonar source for SideScan and DownScan Imaging™.

Note 3: Simrad NSX® and NSS4® displays must be updated to the latest 2.3 software.

Note 4: The StructureScan® 3D sonar module must be updated to this new 26.1 software using one of the following devices: NSO®evo2, NSO®evo3/3S, NSS®evo2, NSS®evo3/3S.

Other Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Fixed a bug where user is asked to select chart source on every reboot when there are multiple C-MAP® charts on the same SD card. New chart cards come with purchased area and ENC version prompting the message.
  • Fixed an issue where ActiveTarget® could automatically change range while manual depth range was applied.
  • Release notes of applicable updates will be shown in the software updates screen. Connect the unit to the Internet (Settings > About > Check for updates).

This latest software is available to download and install, by over-the-air update, when the system is connected to the internet or from your local Support Center. For the best performance, make sure that all MFD systems and Sonar Modules in your vessel’s network are updated and running the same software version.
