Humminbird updates

[Greenwing]

Humminbird released new updates for XX8 units. Added jigging mode. *Jigging Mode - this is a selection in the 2D Sonar Express Menu. It allows the user to select the sonar ping pattern for use while vertical jigging. When turned ON the ping pattern will be: 200 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, 83 kHz, repeat. With this mode turned OFF the ping pattern will be: 200 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, 83 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, repeat. Basically this feature prioritizes the 2D beam over the SI beam.. I checked my account it's available for my 898HD and 1198.

It should have been released for the 898c Si, 898c HD Si, 998c Si, 998c HD Si and 1198c Si model units.

Has there been any problems with this upgrade? I am currently running 6.740. I havent really had any problems with is so i am cautious about downloading the new software.

I haven't tried it yet. I've been running 7.090 with no problems. With this new version I can't wait to try the jigging mode fishing vertical over brush, I've got it downloaded and going to install it tomorrow, hoping the weather will let me try it next weekend.
