- Faster anchor recovery when anchoring at speed
- "Sleep Blink" trolling motor foot pedal status LED will blink while Tour Pro is stowed to indicate the system is "ON" and in "Standby-Stow"
- Stow assist by holding shaft position during stow
- Power steering disable/enable modes (M288/287)
- Compass calibration check (M113)
- Error beep (downtone): GPS not ready
- Triple beep (3 beeps/1 sec): M111 recommended
- Single beep: M111 is calibrated, no action required
- Various software improvements and fixes
The Tour Pro USB Programmer (8M4005750) is powered using a traditional 9V battery. If the status LED will not light up when pressed, change the 9V battery in the USB Programmer chassis.
Note: the USB Programmer MUST be powered on and connected to the NMEA foot pedal cord prior to powering on the Tour Pro trolling motor.
