Could it be?
Oh yeah - just downloaded to the SD card! Will upload to the unit after I get back from doctors appointment!!!!:D
Don't toy with me......going there now.....
Whats the link AND shat size Card so I need? JUST got a 997 4 days ago personally!!!1
Got it.... site was a little slow. Files size is 3.7mb so its a small file.
Can't seem to find it
Try this, you have to register if you have not already. If registered then log in and it will take you to the page with your unit information and download files.
Hope this helps.
At this site your looking for the "My Account" top right corner.

It will be a few hours before I can download the new software and load it to my unit. Does the update implement waypoint management?
Just down loaded to my PC will have to get HB's setup to load from PC. But they had upgrades for both my units, the 1197cSI and 777c2 :D :D
Now I just need to find time and weather to get out and try them.
Once I registered my 997, they came up!!!!! What do I need now to get it to working? A sim card? what size? The file for the 997 is 2.7 meg
Works. New color palettes!:) Looked at DI in simulator mode. Neat. Be a while before I can try this stuff out. Hard water here.
PS
BE sure to reset your unit to factory defaults before installing firmware upgrade. Just a reminder.
If you did not purchase the PC connection kit then yes you will a SD card. I use the PC cable and load my units with my laptop on my work bench, I have a small 12 VDC power supply to power the units.
On the SD cards I would just get a 4 or 8 gb card and copy the file to it from your PC. Then install the SD card in your unit and power it up, it should notice the upgrade file and upgrade the unit for you.( I think I have never done it with the SD card.) Then you can use the SD card to capture snap shots and SI recordings. JMO hopes this helps :D
Went to Radio Shack and got a SD card and reader. already got it on the card and ready to hit the lake whenever that is. LOl Thanks for the heads up guys!!!
Yep, everything looking good so far but , no way to try GPS out except maybe taking unit for a walk on frozen lake to see if it can/will find its own waypoints-Here's hoping...........................:eek:
HOW do I go about resetting the factory defaults?
and help anyone else out
From any view press the MENU button twice to access the tabbed Main Menu System then press the RIGHT cursor key until the Setup tab is selected. Press the DOWN cursor until Restore Defaults is highlighted on the Setup menu. Use the RIGHT 4-way cursor control key to initiate restoring defaults. The Confirm dialog box will appear. To reset the defaults, press the RIGHT Cursor key once more. To cancel Restore Defaults, press the Left Cursor key.
Still no 797 update. :( Did have one for my 787 though. I'm giving HB a grade of 50% today.
Wannabe...
There will be NO 797 update.:):):)
My 997 is at the factory for a small repair. I could have almost guessed the release date.
Hopefully they will do the update while they are fixing it. Got it from Cabelas last summer and the darn thing would not hold the SD card in. I used it until freeze up.
Good stuff!!! YaHoooooo!!! Got it uploaded and playing around with it!
Thanks HB, Joby, Greg, et al!:D
Not sure yet have not loaded it yet? Maybe one of the HB guys will shed some light on it. If not I will let you know when I get it loaded.
But in the past every time they came out with an upgrade for the 1197 they also had one for the 777c2, it's a good DF use it on the trolling motor.
Sonar color palette #1 looks like Lowrance. Neat.
Pssst, CP, I'm running around the parking lot nekkid at the moment in celebration of the 797 announcement. Shoot me a PM if you see the po-po headed this way.
Thanks, you're a peach.

Do I need to upgrade to 4.700 before upgrading to 4.780 with DI???
Never have seen so much excitment in one place. :eek: Good for you guys.:D

The new green/yellow color pallette with a black background and switchfire "on" is a killer.. love the 3 window screen too..
Is there a download for my 987 i dont find it, i am wanting DI.
Did you guys see the thermoline and the temp above and below it? Don't know how it would know this but that will be sweet.
