Sow tamer,
What are you meaning by “upgrading GPS software on humminbird 597 HD DI”?
Are you meaning getting a mapping card?
Yes,a mapping card is what I should have stated. I am sorry.
Sow tamer,
The Humminbird units are limited to using the LakeMaster and Navionics brand mapping cards. If you are within the areas covered by LakeMaster than I think that you will find that they are more detailed as well as have unique features that can be used with the Humminbird units. If they do not cover the area you are wanting, then your only option would be the Navionics mapping cards. Regardless of which you get I would go to each company’s web site and make sure that the lakes/rivers you fish are actually on the mapping card that you buy. Just because the description might say that it is for this or that state or area does not mean that your lake(s) is on the mapping card.
I use the navionics in 597hd/di.works really well.responds very fast.youall like.
