Yep the same ones every time. Deb probably knows she would be waisting her time. Somethings never change.

debrough or any other person associated with humminbird usually stay away from posts like this,such as readouts,dim screen,donut.you might see doug or tmike post on a thread like this one though.i think the reason they will never fix the readouts is because the 997 screen wwould almost be equal to the 1100 series screen ,look at the pic attached.if i still owned humminbird i would rather see this fixed instead of the donut,jmhoThumbs Up

heres a picture using the 597 hd/di. this is what i think that people would like to see on the bigger units, instead of the readouts using the whole side of the screen. this is one of the newer units that humminbird offers. i think that humminbird does lisson to what people have to say, things take time.

Kosmo - Thanks for the pictures.. As you can see from the first image I posted with % calculations, the 798 (same size as the new 597) does not have any problems with the size of the read outs. Neither does the 1198... I don't really know why the 898 and the 998 are getting the shaft with 27% coverage. I know it can be done because it has been done on many other units.. It would benefit everyone.

I have this same post going on 3 other forums and I have yet to hear from Greg, Deb, TMike, or Doug... Maybe they don't know what to say or have heard of this so many times they are tired of it. I sure with someone with HB in the high ranks would listen... It would help them just as much as us.

i did a some looking at some pictures of my 997. it seems to me that the only view that were not getting to use the whole screen is the view with just the si. if im wrong please correct me. heres some different views. you can also see by looking at my avatar ,were i have no readouts showing except were i used the courser.

If you use any split screens with charts, some readouts are automatically pasted.

Thumbs Up

thanks stymie,when i get home i will look. i really haven't noticed . we all really have the best units and manufacture but i do think there is always room for improvement. thats one of things that is really great about humminbird, the community of followers ,there employees that take the time to listen and offer help, probably mostly on there own time and even the competitors that make both companies make improvementsThumbs Up

heres two more pictures .one si were you dont get full use of the screen,the other is di were all of te screen is used
