    The unit is set to yards. The Link App does not try to update to 153. How do I do that? I do not know how to accept the upgrade to 1.23. Do I go to the Kestrel website to get it? Every time I have had a Kestrel update on the 4500 and now this one, some of my data has been scrambled. For this...
