I have the 778c and I have the navionics hot map 2010 and it works good for me. I have downloaded the updates for my units and it added a few more opitions on it. So i would download the updates In my opinion.

I bought my 788ci in May of this year and was wondering what software version came with my unit also. Did they ever fix the gps update feature on the birds? ( being so slow)

With the latest update and the receiver plugged directly into the unit you 4X a second refresh rate.

Might want to get CanePoles input on this. If anyone wants the GPS to work, and understands it, it would be CP.

What do u say bout it Canepole ?

I am not familiar with this unit,therefore I can not give an objective point of view. I have no complaints about the Humminbirds in general except the GPS.

Thanks for the input guys. Have they done anything bout the gps deal ? I have noticed that it has been an ongoing issue for some time now. I really havent paid much attention to the slow gps response, untill I started doing a little research on some of your older post ( by the way, u guys have some very informative post. keep up the good work) I just thought and took for granted that the slow gps response was just the way it was with all gps units.
