Thanks, I can not remember how to find the version of s/w on the 898, can you refresh my memory ? Also, do you leave the update on the sd card once you have updated your unit ? sorry for all the questions but got one more, do you have to have the ethernet cable connected for it to show the additional network settings ?

thanks

Found it.

You need to turn on the Self Test Screen. It tells you the serial number and software version.

I keep "5" SD cards with my unit at all times...

1 for current version of software
1 for previous version of software ( in case the current screws up..I can revert)
1 for backed up waypoints
1 for previous recordings
1 blank for recording the day of fishing

SD cards are cheap..compared to the headache of not having the things aforementioned
