    i agree but we need more unhappy customers to help complain,most people i talk to dont care,we need a way to get this out so more people would complain.i believe maybe a side by side utube on the water would be the only way to convince somepeople

    Remember the shallow water issue....??

    They fixed it (supposedly)....because customers screamed loud enough....

    Everyone please remember....

    Here's the facts...There are things going on in the background addressing the "Donut"...

    This "movement" is being pressed on 3 fronts....each front has it's own importance....

    1. Greg and Joby are working on this from the inside (I promise You)...

    2. There are a few select sponsored pros that are contacting people they know at HB..

    3. We (the customer) have to keep screaming...(at HB, of course, not each other)...

    I got to admit this donut thing sent me to Lowrance. I was convinced I was going to buy a HB but just couldn't bring my self to spend that kind of money to finally get a unit with GPS and it not be funtional at the lower speed where I spend all my time. This should have been fixed along time ago.

    Blueball - I'm taking the boat out in the next couple of days, I may try to make a little iPhone video of the side by side comparison, I think that is a great idea.

    I can and will do this. Might be a while as my wife will be in the hospital in a few days for major surgery.

    Done, along with a note (below)
    "To whom it may concern.
    As you know the guys a crappie.com are hoping to get a fix for the "donut" problem on the SI units.
    They asked me to send my post in support of their plea.
    I was in the market for a 998 but opted for the HDS-8
    You should listen, there are lots like me out there."

    Good luck with it.

    Nice note C-Max. Maybe they'll realize that they are losing sales.

    Doug V posted a link to HB website and said it was pretty cool because it said they are #1 in sales world wide. I managed to get the donut issue on that thread. I said they have the best CS, but the worst GPS, and explained the issue from copying some text from a post over here.

    That is awesome. I've sent them a couple of similar emails and added links to this thread there and on a couple of other forums I look at. As you can see, I also added a link to this thread and to HB CS as my signature here so it will pop up wherever I post

    Rickie - I can do that video comparison you're asking for, it will be an HB997, an Eagle 640c (Lowrance knockoff) and a Garmin 60csx and Delorme PN40 side by side, speed controlled by iPilot which should also be showing a GPS speed reading. I will be on the lake if not tomorrow then Monday.
