Maybe we can hook up nobody has fished from the back of my new boat yet, it's still cherry :D
Been on the water with the new HB yet?? Kinda cold I know but when I got mine that didn't stop me. Could not wait, it took 3 trips before I caught a fish after getting it :DQuote:

I have had a 797 a couple of years and Just got a 1197 and I don't know why I waited.
But what really nice is when you learn some of the trick that these units will do. Check out these.
The first two pictures are of a fishing trip ( I was trolling). You can see my complete movements. You can also show waypoints.
The other is a 600 foot long recording. Using Sview program on my computer I can pan around and zoom and it will tell me the depths and I can create waypoints.

Neat stuff ain't it. You guys keep it up and you gonna have more stuff on your boats than I do.
If I could just understand it all as well as you CP.....:):):)Quote:

The center of the picture is the center of the boat, the left is darker because I had my motor trimmed down and it blocked some of the sonar.Quote:

I think I'm going to do a bigger scan and waypoint everystump on the pic and see how it works with I'm out there trolling and can see all the stumps.
