Which GPS Receiver are you using?
Did you change GPS Receivers when you updated the software?

[speck chaser]

i have the new hs reciever on the 1198

[speck chaser]

no it had the hs when i updated the software

Speck,
Your unit requires the latest software in order to work with the new GPS-HS GPS Receiver.
If you load an older software the GPS-HS will not work on your unit.

The discrepancy in the GPS speed indication of the AS GPS HS antenna has been noted on several forums and with HB...

As of right now HB says it's caused by the difference in the way the individual GPS accessories calculate speed...

We will see what comes in the future as people start aquiring the iPilot Link and using them on the water...

For the present...you can only mentally adjust for the speed discrepancy until the HB future unfolds..

It probably wouldn't hurt to call HB or send them an email telling them your problem with the GPS speed discrepancy...

HB fixes stuff dependent on what the majority of their customers want...(the HB "Wishlist" does work...albeit slowly sometimes)...

thanks I contacted humminbird yesterday and they said that they were aware of the problem

luckyly the speed on the ipilot remote is acurate

There is only 1 way to measure speed and that is distance/time. There is more than 1 type of velocity.

I don't know about that but gps speed works for me it is a necessaity for long line trolling
