GPZ 7000 Software Update - Official Release Information

[rumblefish]

If for some reason you have concerns you can also roll back to the original software version. Both versions are at http://www.minelab.com/asia/products/gold-detectors/gpz-7000?view=downloads

 

This is very important. Whatever technology you are upgrading (computer, metal detector, smartphone, etc) ALWAYS make sure you have a backup of the data/original system before you install the new one.

Mitchel, all the dealers should have the f-rings by now...call your dealer.

Tortuga's advise "Rules" for Mac-users, it was too simple (drag'n drop).  I guess I just fail to trust PC related material on a mac.

The drive appears as a Minelab HD, everything else is easy-greasy much as Tortuga and the instructions said.

 

Now, if we could get the Xchange2 to run on a Mac - I'd shut up and get back to detecting.  Has anyone tried using Xchange2 software with "Boot Camp" to run it on the Macs?

Thanks again Tortuga!

 

(I'm still retraining my 1-month-old replacement knee to walk again, but hope to hit AZ and NCal next month (if I can only kneel down). )

I have run XChange on my Mac using Parallels and Windows 7.

Lunk, I dont think you need to log in unless your using the mapping feature. I didn't. Just plug the USB in and go from there.

Thanks Wes, I successfully completed the update. Minelabs' instructions of logging into XChange 2 as the first step on their update brochure should instead read: "1. Open XChange 2 and connect the GPZ 7000 to a computer via USB".

I agree Lunk, It threw me off a little also. Glad it worked for ya!

Upgrade done. Found out some very interesting stuff from the dealer ..........  Turns out I'm 40% more gullible, only in certain situations though. 

Cheers

Anyone had the new update out and on the ground yet? I can't get into the field for a while yet to try it out but I'm very curious if it's stopped some of the hehawing on salt, takes care of clay lenses better, runs smoother over rough ground, etc...? Or any noticable change in stability? I read on the Aussie forums that people are reporting being able to bump their thresholds up now.

 

Any reports?

[Steve Herschbach]

I am running it. Can't honestly say I see any difference on Nevada ground. If somebody had done the update secretly I would not know anything had changed.
