Over the last few days some of you with 1197 were going to download the New Gps Response Enhancement for your 1197 & try it out at slow speeds.........
has anybody got a chance to do it just looking for some reports on the reaction at slow speeds 0.5 or 0.7 mph how does it work??? Thanks....
Hmn.. this don't sound good,not one report of new toy on on a HB and nobody is talk-en. Sure hope its cause they are so busy havin fun finding all their brush piles......:confused:
I think alot of us guys have the 900 series and will have to wait till January.
amen, i just don't understand it having to wait till January i guess spending 1900.00 dollars wasn't as important as spending 2800.00Quote:

If the largest number of units in te market is the 900 series, then why didn't Humminbird work to release it first? You know paint with a wider brush (keep more of us from complaining). Maybe there are more 1100 and 700 series out there than 900.
Good things come to those that wait!:D I know what ya'll mean----I want it now, but, I guess we gotta wait a couple more months. I am more excited about the DI. Of course the GPS refresh rate is going to be great also!:D
Maybe because the 1100 series is HB's flagship model.. I dunno
We all should be thankful that our electronics have the ability to be upgraded now. A couple years back, you would spend big bucks for a unit, and a year later something newer and better would come out. Making your one year old unit obsolete!
There are some updates on features that I do not use. Therefore, memory is used up and someday, I will not be able to update the functions that I use. Why don't they consider this and allow us to select which funtions need to be updated. I have seen some updates on microsoft that deals with other countries. Just a thought and a expensive toy.
Not to be negative completly, but HB, thanks for the update. Can't wait until January.
Have a great holiday.

Guys I think the reason that you are having to wait for the 4.700 software for the 997 units is that the 997 is not a 2010 year model product. The Engineers really have had to hustle to get these updates ready for those units we made both last year and this year (they still have a few to complete). Plus they have to get all of the new 2010 model units up and running as well. So I think it is just a time-crunch deal and I’m sure they will get the software for the 997 done as soon as they can.
Good idea on being able to install just the software for those features you want but do not know how well this could be implemented.
That makes sense. Thanks Greg. I'm sure HB is trying to get these updates out as quick as they can without a bunch of bugs that would require another update to fix.
i appreciate the updates it just going to seem like forever
Tic-Toc,Tic-Toc! Getting ever closer.:D

Mark a bunch with SI but had a terrible time coming back to look at them with down sonar and possible fish them. It is real frustrating especially being a semi new user. Tournaments are starting and the fish is going to the brushpiles and there are new lakes on the fall schedule.:mad::mad::mad::mad:
