I have asked a couple of times. Does anyone know how slow you can troll without loosing the "boat" icon on the 997 SI with the updated firmware on the GPS?
I hate that donut. Reminds me of Vista and the outhouse.:mad:
Anyone heard of any Navionics East Hot Spots maps on sale yet?

You need US central to get Big Sandy on it.
I have a 987 and the min. speed is .7 to keep the boat icon. Anything less is a circle .

Anyone?
CP,
The only units that have the enhanced GPS refresh rate are the 718, 728, 778c, 788c, 798c Si, 1157c and 1197c Si units. This same software has not been released for the 997 (or 987) units yet.
Ok.Quote:

Donut appears at any speeds < .07mph.. Even after update
What I was afraid of. Crap.Quote:

Bass fisherman don't slow troll so it's not a problem right?? We crappie fisherman no think so.. However, you got to give HB props for the latest firmware update.. They seem to be headed in the right direction... As long as they keep their pace of improvements above .07mph they won't get turned around :D:D Hard to stay on track otherwise ;)
This sounds strange; I have an HB 917 (2006) on a separate antenna; when I long-line, I usually go about .6-.9 MPH--and it reads fine. No doughnut, speed seems to read fine. I've got a 997 on the console, no update, but I've never taken a look--course, I'm generally goin' in a relatively straight line with broad curves and turns, rather than the tight, back and forth stuff I've seen some riggers do. I'd think I'll be able to go even slower and still read with a 4X refresh rate.
Is the "donut" showing when zoomed in really close and not when zoomed out?
my 1197 shows the donut at .5 with the new update
Could you plse say what model antennae you are using with the 1197, just wondering if its the Gr16, AS-GR50(new ant shipped in 2009) or the AS-GRHA this being the discontinued hi-accurate one. I realize the main problem for Slow GPS has been in processor but just wondering if the ant. has anything to do with the fine tuning of it ....Quote:
