997 Touchy Subject Gps

[howferg]

Bass pro is showing a HB receiver gps for the 997 1100series 797 series called high accuracy receiver , they also have a 50 channel receiver for 149.00 , After calling today I was told these are accessories , Has anyone tried the high accuracy for 199.00 to see if the problem is gone away? If so where can you get it for a better price.?

It's not really an "accuracy issue", it's the slooooooooooooooow screen refresh rate that causes the problem.

Mr. Whiskers is right,right,right. Problem is the in design of the units processor, download or likely a physical change??HB got your $$,NO cares, just ignores problem, that's their answer- what great Cust. service that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

touchy subject you said it.

I just told someone today talking about h'bird gps is like bringing up
politics or religion - in a room full of strangers.

Well its not like me to start trouble ,LOL , sorry the trouble I am finding is you have to pass over a spot get out 50 ft from it and then ease in to it and hope thats the right spot. I found that 50 channel receiver and thought maybe they came out with the fix. 149.00 at J&H.

I just bought a 997 from the humminbird outlet store and saved 320.00 on the whole system and it came with the 50 channel GPS. I hope it works good. I'm installing it this weekend.

It will work , fine , the problem we see is the amount of time it takes to work . they seem to be slow , let us know how the 50 channel works mine along with most of the 07 and 08 only have 16 channels ? from what ive learned their is only 16 satalites , but the advantage you have is that with 50 channels it will switch to stronger signals for positioning . Please let us know how you like it.

Get a good Garmin GPS and use it if you want to find your spot fast. If you use the HB for GPS go very slow and drop a marker and then go around and around and then good luck.
