Steve Herschbach Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Minelab are pleased to announce the first software update to our GPZ 70000 detector.This free update incorporates a new Auto Ground Tracking Algorithm resulting in improved Auto Ground Balance functionality.This GPZ software update improves the detector’s ability to track to the ground, such that more of the audio you hear is from gold nuggets. Resulting in -More stable thresholdHigher sensitivityLess false ground signal interferencePrecision ground trackingMore gold foundThis update also maximises achievable detection depth in any given soil type by delivering improved tracking of the yellow ferrite when ground balancing. Updates can be done easily via Minelab’s XChange 2, or manually via a file transfer method when XChange 2 is not available (e.g. if using a Mac).There is no need to return your detector to a Minelab dealer.To download the October 2015 software update or to obtain the pdf version of the brochure below go to http://www.minelab.com/usa/metal-detectors/gold-detectors/gpz-7000?view=downloadsIf for some reason you have concerns you can also roll back to the original software version at the same page (January 2015 Firmware) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Make sure your battery is close to fully charged. I tried to upgrade with a battery I used after a day of detecting. Had to switch to a charged battery and re-download the update. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Our dealer here phoned and offered to do this for us. Just drop in machine in the morning and pick up in the arvo. I like that ...... cheers BB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 SS Let me know how it works. If it works I will take back 40% of the nasty things I have said about the Minelab GPZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Bada Bing, I am with you on this, I hate to admit but I am not a teki and words like software, upgrades and such make me nervous . Perhaps this is why I still run my 4500, the gpz seems a bit complicated and now you can program the dang thing!! I think I am getting to old....but if a dealer would have a service like that...and do the upgrades and do them correct, I can live with. Perhaps a gpz is in my future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It is simple to download. Takes about 5 minutes. Gonna give the new algorithm a try today. Will report back to HQ and my superior Kernel Klunker. Notice the misspelling. He makes nuggets POP out of the ground! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Klunker, I just did it with only a little drama...if I can- anyone can... It has been so long since i used my 7000 I may not know the difference but it can only be better! fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'm using the ring several times a session. Ring wrapped with para cord. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesD Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hardest part for me was trying to find where I put the usb cable. Otherwise it was drama free, as Fred said. And Im no tech wiz either. Good work Minelab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
