Couple a Questions!

I've ran eletronics since they've been out ,but I'm looking at new side scan technology leaning towards the 898 si question is what programs do you need to view recordings and snapshots is this a good unit! for this price range and what are the best setups You Men have on settings!

Thanks

Flatfish,
When I get back to the lake house I will show you some more shots. I have Lowrance HDS 10 on the console and a HDS 8 on the front. Beagle Man is showing you some Lowrance shots. So far I like the Lowrance sidescan. Been finding bluegill beds and been trying to figure out the redear.The Lowrance does pretty good. Here are two redear I caught with the sidescan help.Attachment 42123

I'm still learning to use it and it sure is fun. Here is a HB site that can answer a lot more questions.

Not sure if i need to sit still to take a better pic, but i'll try again when i get the chance and see if it helps.

Any picture viewer should open the snapshots...Windows photo gallery, Windows Paint...etc

To view recordings....Humviewer is a really good one....

HumViewer

We use HumViewer to view our recordings. Very simple to use.

All I can say is that I made the mistake of buying the 797. The reason
it was a mistake is I was sorry I didn't go bigger. I now have the 1197.
From what I've hear from everybody is that Humminbird Support is ten fold
better than Lowrance. I have played with both and to me HB is better..
and been at SI longer. But to each his own.

Here are a few programs that are all free. I use the SI view the most.
All easy to learn.

SI View - Displays recordings makes waypoints.

Humminbird PC - Manages waypoints and tracks and display on google earth

Son2xtf - converts recordings so programs can read, takes 2 seconds

Deepview - Makes waypoints and movies and screen shots.
