NTFS: This is the newest file system created by Microsoft and is the de facto file system for almost every modern internal hard drive and SSD. How to format pendrive in mac.

Set your Unit to the default mode first before putting card in unit then turn the unit off For now copy the file to SD card and if its on your Mac then insert the SD into HB card slot then turn HB on. The unit will do update automatically. After update I set my unit to default mode again. To eliminate copying the updates to your Mac just direct Safari in preferences to download it straight to the SD card then copy the file to your Mac for safe keeping after updating your unit if you need to go back to an earlier update.

I always use a blank SD card for the updates. You cant open.bin files on the Mac. Most of the third party software is not Mac compliant either.

But there is plenty of EXCELLENT help here on this forum Regards Geoff. Remove the SD card from HB unit and save the file to a back up or your Mac then delete the.bin file from the SD card and insert it back into HB unit. This should stop the 'software up to date message'. I have two SD cards, one for updates and one for waypoints and routes etc. Only leaving the one card in HB unit even though it has the two slots.
