New image from this week.
Do the down imaging graphics display as fast as the 2d?
Yes Sir it does.
Great. I am looking forward to using all this good stuff, especially the GPS.
Might haveta get that 998.
You guys working on a high speed gateway to replace the existing one so we can share high speed stuff between units?
That is so cool. The down-imaging will be a great help in learning how to interpret the 2D sonar. A real eye-opener.
Thanks for the pic.
neat
Do you have to have an SI unit in order to have down imaging?
Down Imaging is accomplished with 455 kHz sonar, so yes, only a Side Imaging fishing system will be capable of Down Imaging.
For 2010, the 1197, 998, 898, and 798 will be Down Imaging equipped.
Previous model years of the 1197, 997, and 798 can be upgraded to Down Imaging through a free software update from the Humminbird website. That update is due in January.
Hello Don, Seeing the pictures of those fish you're catching from your local honey hole, why worry about a down imaging unit? ;) When we meet up in the spring, I might have to steal the batteries from your GPS to even the playing field! Glad to see the Fish Gods are smiling on you. Hope You and Your's enjoy a beautiful Thanksgiving!Quote:

You & Ronnie have a plate filling Thanksgiving..:)
Hello Don, I have a 498C which uses the Garmin micro card, not a SD card. I do have Mapsource software plus the cable to connect my 498 to the computer. If the waypoints can be saved to a Cd, SD or 3.5" disc, I could then transfer them from my computer to the 498. I think:rolleyes: Let me see if I can mark some random waypoints on my Mapsource program, then save them to a CD, and then load them on my 498C. Thanks, Ron
Joby, is the down imaging going to be available for the 987? Am I waiting for something that is not going to happen ? Please reply.
Hello Don, Sent you a PM. Ron
Nice image.
I think the old 987c-Si is getting it also. Or I was told that. As it has the 455KHZ also. But then again I have been using my unit for this 4 years so not an issue. Run the Si where its not shooting that far out, then watch the SI screen works that way also.Quote:

How about the 797 unit?
It's my understanding that our 797's (I have one too) have lil' peaQuote:
