Lack of firmware updates for LX200

Hi

I think Meade thinks they have created a perfect product in LX200 or the LX400 Telescope, there has not been any updates to the firmware for 8 years...!

I think I've got a news for them - its antiquated, cumbersome and not informative, terrible to use (key registering delay) and could use some refreshing touches.
The calibration and leveling takes 3 goes at the level sensor, the Best of tour has a Coal Sack as interesting object !!!!, an object that can only be enjoyed through binoculars...

I have just connected SkySafari 4+ to the scope and things are looking a lot more interesting now , please check the DIY section.
