You will have the ability to remove the readout boxes on the Left side of your Side Imaging View and now have the depth and the temp displayed at the bottom of the screen. Now you can maximize your viewing area for Side Imaging. This software will be released in January for the 898 and the 998. Attachment 76269
Will the 997 follow :angel:
Wow.. That is a HUGE improvement... That was my biggest complain when I owned my 898. I got a 1198 now so I don't have that problem but I know this will make many many people happy! Good work..

Awesome! Thanks Humminbird.

See guys... HB does, indeed, listen to their customers and answer their "wish list" items...it just takes them awhile...
Now, if HB would just give my unit a user selection to turn this "Donut" into a directional boat icon below speeds of 0.5mph...
We proved it can be done... With scientific evidence and video evidence...

Cool, just ordered a 998 and now its going to have an improvement in a month. Thanks!
Hmmmm.....good news.....now to add the 858c to the list.....no down image or side image but some readouts on some views won't change and are not needed.....thanks HB for working on the fixes.....& yes the DONUT is hopefully next
Kudos to the folks at Humminbird....this was change was really needed.
X3 on the 997's. This would be great.

How do I do this on my 998? Is it under the sonar menu, readout menu or what thanks for any help
The update will come out in Jan and you will install it after downloading it. The menu will be adjusted somewhere and I'm sure there will be instructionsQuote:

FYI - This was added to the unit software back in the spring of 2012 (software version 6.180).
ty I saw it .I believe I was looking for more screen and smaller read outs on other screens as well .
Does this ship with all new units Greg??Quote:

Yes it does. Typically we ship units with the currently released version of software and this was an addition to the standard software for the 800 and 900 series Si units. It is also available in all software update versions after 6.180
I was reading post about update.Getting rid of large white box.Went to sonar tab and scrolled all through to bottom,never saw anything saying SI read outs.I have 998.
Help
Check to see if you are in "Advanced" mode under the "Setup" tab...Quote:

I guess I'd better start mulling over how much I want to sell my 797c2SI for (keep the 798 where it is) and start pinching my pennies!!!
WOOO HOOOO!!!!
I guess if I sold my 30.06 I could get a good down payment!

The SI Readouts menu should be shown whether in Advanced or Normal User Mode menu setting. The only reason why the menu would not be showing is if the unit has an older version of software installed or if the Transducer Select menu is set to a non-Si transducer. Check the software version in your unit and make sure that the Transducer Select menu is set to the Hi-Def Sidescan setting.Quote:

Unfortunately...this feature is only available for the 800 and 900 series units...(I guess HB figures the boxes are not in the way at the bottom of my 1197)...
Here is what it looks like with the Readouts turned off...
