how do I view snapshot recordings from humminbird 898

Can someone direct me on how to do this? Thanks.

Snapshots and recordings are saved directly to a SD card that is inserted into the unit….

-Remove the SD card from the unit and insert it into your pc's card reader…a window should open showing files on the SD card…
-Create a new folder on your pc's desktop named “HB”….
-Transfer the files from the SD card to the “HB” folder…
-Click on any of the files that have a “.png” extension and your pc’s picture viewer program should open it to view the “.png” snapshot….

The recordings can be viewed in a third party software called Humviewer….

-Download Humviewer here…HumViewer - Viewer of Humminbird sonar recording files
-When it asks if you want to “run” or “save”…click “save”….
-When it asks where you want to save…navigate for it to download to the new “HB” folder…
-Open the Humviewer program that has now been installed…(I think version 67 is the latest)…

When Humviewer opens….

-Click “Open” in the top left of the screen….
-Navigate to the “HB” folder until you find the files that you transferred from the SD card….
-Click on any file with a “.DAT” extension (or “.dat”…I don’t remember)…
-The recording file should load into Humviewer…(sometimes this takes a few minutes depending on how long a recording you made)….

Let me know if everything works for you...

I wrote that from memory...I hope I didn't leave anything out...

I think I left out a step in the Himviewer download process..

When you click "save"... The Humviewer .exe installer will be saved (not the HV program itself)..

After it downloads to the "HB" folder.. Click on the HV .exe installer to get the actual HB program to install...

Now you can open the HV version 67 program... (I think)...
