Make it happen! I'm ready for Way Point sharing. :D

There are a few of the Ethernet capable units that did not get the 5.410 software yet. I'm guessing that it will get released real soon, as this should what gets worked on next.

Well I for one sure hope so

Waypoint sharing is going to be different from the Interlink days. Whichever unit marks a waypoint, that is the unit that stores the waypoint. So if you need to see that waypoint at the other unit #2, you can't power down unit #1.

I'm not sure what you will see if both units have waypoints at the same positions and you have waypoint sharing on.

Can you connect any with a 797 via the ehternet cable?

Software for the 788ci HD and 788ci HD DI units should be on the Humminbird web site.

Only the new 2011 model “HD” model 798 units (798ci HD Si) can be connected via the Ethernet. They need the Ethernet connector – which is different than the other connectors on the units – as well as the internal circuitry and software to support the Ethernet connection.

Will they offer a cable so that i can plug my laptop up and plug into the HB?

I don’t know cater. It could be a possible future accessory at some point. How are you wanting to use this connection?

I would be nice to bring the unit it the the shop or house plug it in with power an Ethernet that is all ready connect to the laptop or computer and view the recording made today. I now have to move the SD card to the computer,transfer then watch and remimber to put the the card back into the HB.
Also
download waypoints
upload waypoints
view recordings
upload new solfware
Change settings

I have only have my 898 for a couple of weeks so I am sure there are a lot of other things things that could be usefull to all of us if we could plug the unit in with power and then connect to to the laptop or computer with enet.

Thanks for your interest and the great job you do tring to help us.
