this was from a release I got hold of.

Looks like more items are coming in 2011 from Humminbird. BBG Marine posted this data in the sticky thread above. Heard rumors but this looks official since it's in the order form for 2011 product:

These are the new DI models I show pending delivery. Pretty exciting to see Humminbird going head to head with the other guys. You gotta love competition.

570 DI
See more of what's down there for less. Select Humminbird 500 Series models now offer best-in-class, HD screen resolution along with picture-like Down Imaging Sonar.

Timber, rocks, even fish - watch it all take shape on crystal-clear,full-color 4.5" or 5" monochrome displays. With screens that size,it's easy to take advantage of versatile DualBeam PLUS Sonar and exclusive Humminbird SwitchFire technology. We're talking a beam sensitive enough to track a jig down to 70 feet and separate fish as close as 2.5" apart. Find your way using built-in UniMap or up theante with optional Lakemaster and Navionics cartography. Get allthis technology in a convenient in-dash mount, or use our Tilt & Swivel Disconnect Mounting System. With the 500 Series, big things are bound to happen!

Yes that's good to hear but what I would like to hear/know what are they going to do or NOT do about features on the 998 & new??1198...
Like are they going to refine the Di image screen now that Lowrance is 2 steps ahead in producing a clear readable screen,(I believe this is because of the type transducer they use/ method of constructing a Di screen, Their GPS system can still get itself lost at slow speeds- always looking for a donut shop, waypoint management sure enough needs a overhaul, -wish HB would buy Garmin GPS system.................

You know it's like Microsoft by the time they put it out, it's old school! Just a way to get our money.
They should have made the I-Pilot and the Ethernet compatible HB units work together to start with. That's a no Brainer

The I-Pilot was made for the GPS/Ethernet Units I think, but who am I????

I appreciate a little capitalism, however, the scorched butt syndrome is a long healing process.
