Thread: Readouts on Humminbird are TOO BIG!!!!!

heres two pictures here were one the readouts dont apear to be transparent and the other is. i dont no why . these are to old pictures that i took.

That is pretty interesting kosmo... The main screen that i use is Side Imaging on the whole screen. If I could just get the depth on the bottom like your DI picture in your last post that would be awesome. I don't know why they have the whole strip on just the SI screen....

What model HB are you using?

DG,I might be wrong but I think those snapshots are from his HB 997....

Thanks Don.. I don't think my 898 will do that but I will have to go back and look...

I think everyone wants to be able to use their screen to its full potential. Just think about the last update.. We got contour lines, terrain mode, and the little blue boat now turns in the direction of the waypoint you are heading toward... Think about the code it took to write that.. think about the man hours it took to make that happen. Now, it was an awesome update, I like it, and I appreciate that it was free to me the user.

BUT... I don't use it. I would have been jumping up and down if the update was to be able to turn off the readouts or move them to the bottom of the screen. That update I would use.. That update EVERYBODY would use....

Now, think about the code it would take to move or remove the readouts... Now think about the code it took to get contour lines, terrain mode, and the little blue boat to turn toward the waypoint.....

I would dare to say, the last update took way more code than an update to move/remove the readouts... I really don't think I am jumping out on a limb saying that...

DG, was that the 5.5 update...? I think I am still on the 5.4....

It would be nice to have smaller readouts along the bottom of the screen..

I am not real sure Don... It could have been before 5.5... I think they had one update that was to enable the ethernet for the 898 and 1198 but I am not sure... the one I am talking about is shown here:

DG, my 898 is new so that update was already installed on mine....I am liking the 898..

Gotcha.... Yeah man.. I love my 898 also... That thing is bad! Helped me catch a bunch of fish...
