My HS is still idle...
Boat orientation means little to nothing when I can't even detect brush in my SI images...

I think 3 months is long enough to wait. 6.640 has been out since MayQuote:

The donut fix is working isn't it? Ima waiting on the new HB stuff to show up. In the mean time, my HB fishin' buddy still works. A present from Wilbur, so it is a special unit.
There's only a handful of 360 owners VS. several thousand "other HB users" so, I'd say the majority of users are suffering.
The HS is useful to me when I slow troll. I quit that in March. It is crank bait season where I am now. Don't need the HS puck at crankbait trolling speeds.
Okay I hate to say this, but I need a bit of catching up on what is the problem. I never even used my unit before I updated it to this 6.640 so please tell me what is wrong. I have hardly been fishing since I got it so show me the way to the light please. If I should be griping to Humminbird I need to know that.Quote:

Here is a shot I took just from one side in Down View even though I was using side scan and out 120' to each side.
I will not be happy if the picture is not as it is supposed to be because of an update and they need get that fixed ASAP. That is Bull!
I am wondering if that is boards laying on the bottom, maybe an old bridge?

That does look like boars Skip!
Oops boards!
I think it was an old wood bridge going over that creek and since just collapsed. Have to check that spot out again for fish, maybe drop some brush on the old bridge?
The HB unit applies post processing to the recordings when viewed in the unit...
Humviewer takes the raw sonar data...and then applies its own post processing to the data...you will not see the same detail in Humviewer...(even if you capture a snapshot from within the Humviewer recording)..I actually like the recordings played in Humviewer better than playing them on the unit...
To see if the new software versions are affecting your images you would need to take a snapshot directly on the unit during live scanning...then, export these into your PC and view the PNG snapshot with your PC picture viewing program (usually windows picture viewer)
This will tell you if the unit's live data processing is screwed up by the new software...

With the latest software updates, I see pixilation on the 2d ( i.e. dual beam for cane pole ) sonar image; I still have slow speed discrepancies with all my other GPS devices since I installed the HS GPS puck; and I don't think they have gotten the chart speeds back the way they were in earlier versions.
Thanks for the info and I will do that. Maybe I will just send it back if it's bad and tell them to change it back.

It is now 115 days with "NO FIX". The "NO FIX" statement comes from a HB Tech Supervisor.
Had to check the location of the poster, could have sworn it came from MO. :RoflQuote:

Ron, that is a good snapshot.:HandsClapping Can you post some from Canada while you are up there?
I will be making a couple of trips to Kerr this week.
Great shot Ron...
A little bit of something going on in the far left reaches of the SI ...but it could be any of number or things or nothing at all...
Post more shots and we'll see if it continues or maybe it was just a gremlin...

I was about a 1/2 mile below a dam on the Susquehanna river. Right side of the screen was facing the dam. About 100 yards to the right, the river gets shallow and impassable for a prop boat due to rocks. I think my screen shot shows that. :yikes To the left, the depth raises fast to an island about 200 feet away. What is it on the left side that looks unnatural? Sure wish I was seeing a lot of white dots!
here's another picture.Attachment 135983
Look at your posts shellback. Please stop trolling.Quote:

This makes sense...the horizontal lines I am seeing on the left side are probably just shadows as the water gets shallower toward the island you mention...Quote:

I still like the shot... :ThumbsUp
