Obtaining the Latest Software

1. The latest software for the display is available on‑line for general download at Mercury's website;
www.mercurymarine.com/vesselview. To understand what software version is in VesselView, power up VesselView. While
the system boots up, the screen will show the software version in the lower right‑hand corner. If VesselView is already
powered up, select Settings>System>About to see the current operating version of VesselView software.
2. Select the VesselView 7 product and click on DOWNLOAD UPGRADE.
3. Depending on your computer's security settings, a security warning may appear. Click Allow to continue.
4. Create a folder on your hard drive and save the file in this folder.
5. If you are asked to SAVE or RUN, select SAVE and save to your hard drive.
NOTE: The file is typically 70–100 MB in size.
IMPORTANT: Some browsers may change the file extension. Verify that the filename and extension have not changed.
The correct extension after the filename should be .upd. Do not rename the file or change the extension.
6. After the file is saved to the hard drive, copy the file to a 512 MB or higher capacity blank FAT or FAT 32 micro SD card
root. The root of the drive is the topmost level, where the file is not placed into a folder.
