Question about 998- getting started

Okay, I got my 998, registered it with Humminbird and Humminbird select. I think I remember the software version current on unit is 5.4? and so newest version via humminbird is 5.7. So do I download new version to computer then transfer it to SD card then to unit?
Also, it has something else- I have humminbird PC and in process of getting new computer so it will have newest windows software. so I am thinking I need to download the last 2 items, but how do I save current software version currently installed in case new one gets a glich.
thanks

Tommy...

Go to the sideimagingsoft.com site kosmo posted above...

In the "Download" subforum find your current version of software and download it to a blank "formatted" SD card...

Also, there should be the newest version of your software in that same place... Download the new version of software to a separate formatted SD card...

Follow the instructions closely from the RGecy youtube video...that Don G posted from earlier in this thread...

rnvinc,
It looks like there are 3 updates for the 998. I see the 5.4 version and will download to separate SD card, then there is a 5.5 and final 5.7. Do I need to download the 5.5 as well as the 5.7 or just the current 5.4 and then the 5.7?
