Got mine for entertainment.* I sure don't need it for fishing. I bought 997 knowing it had gps issues (had 797), BUT I was assured by the HB rep that this issue would be resolved.* When I called about the fix, well haha.....My* 997 sonar is turned off.* I use a console flasher.* All excess features off or hidden to help GPS.* This don't help much.* I want to use the trolling grid feature to help me locate civill war artifacts, but until the gps is more refined, the trolling grid is basically worthless.* HB advertises the SI as the ultimate structure finding tool.* Maybe.* Lets just say it can find structure's home, but it don't know the structures address.Fortunatly, I can "get around" all the shortcomings of the gps, but it is a PIA. Pete, they didn't fix it......
