Thread: 788ci HD DI Combo

Switchfire Clear and raise the Sensitivity to an acceptable amount of clutter ...

Beam Frequency 455kHz (2d) will give a clearer screen ...but will also have less coverage under the boat ...

Can you post some screenshots ... ??

You may have an issue going on that is not evident without seeing pix ...

Rick, I get out so infrequently it might be a month or better before I can post screen shots. I will try though. It is coming a daggum blizzard here now though.

I'm going to try hard to get to the river soon to go after sauger and walleye though. Next weekend might be it.

Rickie,

I got out on Nolin for a few hours and have screen shots for you, not sure how to go from phone to here though.

First part of the day I had no temp then it started showing on the screen but it was obviously wrong. -3.0°f was what it was showing.

I did use those settings you have above and that helped. I started showing big clouds of what I had to guess where shad but nothing with them.

Give me a day or two to get to a desktop and I will post the two screens.

These are the settings I am using. Mostly using DI over the regular sonar or will run a split.



Any idea how to fix this temp issue? I started the day saturday with no temp showing, then it showed on its own about halfway through the day but it was way, way off. Yesterday I never saw a temp.

Plus I lose bottom at anything aver 15 mph.

There are reports of issues when "Bird's eye view" is Visable ...

There are reports of issues with corrupt Waypoints ...

It it may be beneficial to export your Waypoints and check them in HBPC for weird dates or duplicate Waypoints ...

When your Waypoints are safely backed up into HBPC ...

"Format NAV Directories" under the setup tab ...
"Restore Defaults" under the Setup tab ...
Make Hidden all views that contain "Bird's Eye view" ...

Test and report back ...

How do I export waypoints? I have to use an SD card as I do not have an ethernet port or other way to connect to a pc.

I typically do not use the bird's eye view, I use a straight aerial view when running. I only used that view then to show the temperature issue. It occurs no matter what view I am in.

*Insert a blank formatted SD Card into the card slot ...
*Press Menu twice to get into the Main Menu System ...
*Cursor over to the NAV tab ...
*Cursor down to Waypoints Routes Tracks ...
*Cursor right to open Waypoint Management ...
*Cursor to highlight Options ...
*Cursor right to open Options Menu ...
*Cursor to "Select All and..." ...
*Cursor to Export ...
*Cursor right to activate Export ...

You should get a popup saying Saved to SD Card ...

*Open HBPC on your PC and insert SD Card in your PC Card reader ...
*The SD Card icon should show in the left of HBPC ...
*Click on the arrow under the SD Card icon that says "Download" ...

The gpx file should appear just to the right of the SD Card icon ...

*Click on the + sign next to the gpx file name ...
*Click on Waypoints in the dropdown menu ...

Your Waypoints should appear in the right pane ...

*Click on the "Date" tab to sort by date ...Check the dates for weird dates ... Like 1960's weird ...
*Click on the "Name" tab to sort by name ... Check for duplicate Waypoints ...

Once you have your Waypoints safely imported into HBPC ... It is safe to "Format the NAV directories" in the unit and Restore Defaults for testing ...

Remember to make Hidden all Bird's Eye views before testing ...
