Software setup | Zeus Glass Helm Installation Manual
Software updates and data backup
From time to time B&G releases software updates to its existing products. Updates are created
for a variety of reasons; to add or improve features, to add support for new external devices, or
to  x software bugs.
Updates can be found on the B&G website: www.bandg.com
The Zeus Glass Helm may be used to apply software updates to itself, and to supported
NMEA 2000 and ethernet devices, with  les read o an SD card.
Before initiating an update to the Zeus Glass Helm itself, be sure to back up any potentially
valuable user data.
Backing up and importing user data
There are two  les that can be backed up that relate to user changes made to the system:
Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks database’
‘Settings database’ (includes preferences such as unit settings, custom new pages, and Czone
con guration les)
The backup procedure is similar for both - simply select which you want to backup and select
the destination to save to, e.g. on the unit, or to an SD card.
The user has the option of exporting all waypoints, or exporting only waypoints contained
within a speci c region.
Waypoint backup o ers di erent  le formats to save as:
User data  le version 5: Use with current Navico MFDs (Zeus Glass Helm, Zeus, Zeus Touch,
Zeus, NSO evo2, NSS evo2, NSS, NSO, NSE, HDS Gen2, HDS Gen2 Touch). O ers most detail
User data  le version 4: Use with current Navico MFDs (Zeus Glass Helm, Zeus, Zeus Touch,
Zeus, NSO evo2, NSS evo2, NSS, NSO, NSE, HDS Gen2, HDS Gen2 Touch).
User data  le version 3 (with depth): Use with legacy Lowrance GPS chartplotters
User data  le version 2 (no depth): Use with legacy Lowrance GPS chartplotters
GPX (GPS Exchange): Use with some other manufacturers’ GPS products, and PC applications
Northstar .dat (no Tracks): Use with legacy Northstar chartplotters
The ‘Serial port’ option outputs the waypoints over NMEA 0183. The receiving GPS/PC will
typically need to be set to allow import of waypoints.
Later, if the Zeus Glass Helm is defaulted or user data is accidentally deleted, simply return
to the  les page, highlight the backed up  le, and select ‘Import. View  le details for creation
date.
Zeus Glass Helm software upgrades
The update  le must be loaded to the root directory of an SD card.
In the  les menu, locate the update  le on the SD card and select ‘Upgrade’. Accept the
prompt to reboot the unit, and wait a few moments as the unit restarts. Do not remove the
SD card or repower the system until the process is completed (this will typically take no more
than a couple of minutes). Update may also be initiated at boot up - simply insert the SD card,
before turning unit on, boot unit and follow on-screen instructions.
NMEA 2000 and Ethernet device upgrades
The update  le must be loaded to the root directory of an SD card.
To update NMEA 2000 and ethernet devices select the ‘upgrade option presented when the
le is highlighted. A list should appear displaying any compatible devices the update  le
applies to - in most cases this will be a single device. Select device and initiate upgrade. Do
not interrupt the upgrade process.
note: If no device is shown, check device to be updated has power, and run any outstanding
updates for the display  rst.
