Looking at the 2 units side by side, it doesn't look like that big of a difference. I guess it could be the scale of the pics.
While I admire the technology and think it'd be a great tool to have, if they keep going at this pace, they'll price themselves out of the market. Heck, these units are probably out of the question for most of us. I'd have a hard time thinking of any other technology item in the last several years that had a price bump like this.
Would be nice if someone (canepole) could use this technology and create the same unit to be used with a laptop or tablet. I'd think someone could cut the cost, and still make a bundle. Plus the processing power would be so much greater.
I'd feel pretty silly having bought two of these units on my boat and going home with no fish.....

Aww heck, to me it is all about having fun - I enjoy playing with the
stuff. If we were going for practical, we'd all be fishing from the bank
with a cane pole probably:D Or at least a plywood rowboat.
Not that I wouldn't enjoy that, but enjoy playing with the toys too.

Those pics are not to scale. If you past them into a program and adjust one until the keypads are the same size, it becomes apparent what a monster the 1197 is !

Humminbird has the supply and demand thing down pat. And I don't say that as something negative -- I'm own a business myself -- and it's all about what the market will bear. The big spenders give us the technology that we can afford down the line. Nice work, Greg, even though I don't have a fishin' boat and won't be one of your big spenders...
