I would be concern about getting updates for the 898 too. I mean we just released updates for the Matrix 12, Matrix 47 3D, Matrix 97, 981c Si and 987c Si units which were produced back in 2004 and 2005… Humminbird has always tried to support free software updates for the units they have produced for as long as they can. Hardware limitations will not always allow for an older unit to have all the new “goodies” that the most current software update includes.

I have not seen an 898c Si unit yet but I would guess that the three way view split would be available on it as it already is on the much older 987 units.
