I just got A brand new 998. I had a 997 I saved all the waypoints to an SD card. And can't figure out how to load them on to my unit. I know their on there because I loaded them back onto the 997 after deleting them. Also what are some basic settings for my side and down imaging to use for the clearest shots. I have an aluminum boat and generally fish no deeper than 50 ft. Thanks guys
If the 998 has older software ...power off the unit....insert SD Card ....power on unit...follow prompts...Quote:

___________
Basic default settings are a good place to start with the unit...(you can restore defaults and get everthing to default)...
Then change....:::
*SI Range to 60-70ft left and right...(less Range in shallow water <5ft deep...maybe 30-40ft left and right)...
*SI Sensitivity change to adjust brightness of image dependent on bottom composition (hard bottom will need lower SI Sensitivity...softer bottoms will need higher SI Sensitivity)...
*SI Contrast 10-12...(higher will make fish echoes pop out but make the image grainy)...
*Si Sharpness Off....(higher will make fish echoes pop out but make the image grainy)...
*Color Pallete...choose a color that you can see well for the lighting condition of the day (sunny - I like Inverse or Green...cloudy - I like Inverse or Blue)...
*Chart Speed ...match boat speed ...1mph = 1 Chart Speed, 2mph = 2 Chart Speed, etc
Use the 4way cursor to stop the screen scroll and change different settings to see how that setting affects the image....
