HB Ethernet multicasting ...
url]http://www.humminbird.com/Category/Support/FAQ/Multi-casting/[/url]
i]Multicasting is a term used to explain the capability of an Ethernet system to pass information from one unit or device to more than one other unit/accessory efficiently.
Originally the Humminbird Ethernet systems were designed to work between two units in a point-to-point network called AD-HOC via a direct link Ethernet cable.
The next advancement in Humminbird Ethernet technology was the introduction of the Humminbird 5 Port Ethernet Switch accessory. This device allows information to be sent from one unit to multiple units/accessories around the Ethernet network. In order for the Humminbird 5 Port Ethernet Switch to effectively handle the requirements of sending Humminbird Sonar, Radar, NMEA 2000, Side Imaging, Down Imaging, and 360 Imaging data across the network to multiple units it had to support Multicasting.
This makes the Humminbird 5 Port Ethernet Switch vital to a multiple control head or multiple accessory Humminbird Ethernet network.
As a result of this, all units connected to the Humminbird 5 Port Ethernet Switch MUST have Multicasting software support. In addition, units connected directly to each other without a switch will also benefit greatly from Multicasting software.
Multicasting updates for all Ethernet capable Humminbird control heads were made available to customers in March of 2012. The software version number is 6.180 and later.
For units to work together on the Ethernet network properly ALL the units on the network need to either have:
Older non-multicasting software (Pre v6.180)
or
Newer multicasting software (v6.180 and later)
In order to get everything working correctly on the Ethernet system it is important to make sure that all units on the Ethernet system have the latest available software. Not just software that is compatible with Ethernet but the latest available version.
For example, if a network is connected with an 1198 that has the latest released code (multicasting code) and a 798ci HD SI that has older Ethernet code (non multicasting code) they will not work properly together.
As a note: Multicasting is a generic term used and you can buy Multicasting Ethernet switches from places like Best Buy but our version of multicasting is proprietary to us so if someone buys another Ethernet switch from a retailer like Best Buy that isn’t ours it will not work with our system.[/i]

To discern HB GPS antennas...
Some have a gray gasket between the top and bottom housings and by the printing on the top housing...
GR4/GR4RD GPS Receivers were welded and have no gasket. They should state “ADVANCED ACCESSORY SYSTEM” under the “HUMMINBIRD”.
The GR16, GR50, GRHA, GRP, and GR-HS all look similar but have different artwork on the top of the housing. They have a Dark Gray gasket visible between the top and bottom housings.
* GR16 states: “GPS ACCESSORY SYSTEM” under the “HUMMINBIRD”.
* GR50 states: “AS-GR50 GPS MODULE” under the “HUMMINBIRD”.
* GRHA states: “AS-GRHA HIGH ACCURACY GPS” under the “HUMMINBIRD”.
* GRP states: “PRECISION GPS MODULE” under the “HUMMINBIRD”.
* GPS-HS states: “AS-GPS HS PRECISION GPS + COMPASS” under the “HUMMINBIRD”.

QUOTE=HBirdDeborahCRC;5741277]On the SI unit Jiggin Mode is a selection in the 2D Sonar Express Menu. It allows the user to select the sonar ping pattern for use while vertical jigging. When turned ON the ping pattern will be: 200 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, 83 kHz, repeat. With this mode turned OFF the ping pattern will be: 200 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, 83 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, repeat. Basically this feature prioritizes the 2D beam over the SI beam.[/QUOTE]
When scrolling through the menu options and attempt to choose the transducer selection under the "connected transducer" Sonar menu option, the transducer options will display momentarily, but then instantly the menu cursor will exit the menu and revert or jump back back to the "Alarms" menu.
-------
From HB ...:
I]“This is actually normal for this particular menu option. When adjusting the "Connected Transducer" feature the settings of the menus have to refresh to correlate to the new transducer selection. Rather than the system waiting until you stop moving left and right and leave it on a specific transducer for a second or so, indicating you have made your final decision, it immediately refreshes the menus with the new menu options for that type of sonar. We do understand that this can cause some frustration when changing from Compact Side Scan or Hi Def Side Scan to Dual Beam or something else while on the water but this is normal.”[/i]
The different size screens have different pixel densities.
The 798 has 31,170.5 pixels per square inch.
The 898 has 17,533.4 pixels per square inch
The 998 has 12,755.7 pixels per square inch
The 1198 has 8,858.2 pixels per square inch
The Helix specs are ...:
480 x 800 = 384,000 total pixels
3" x 4.6" = 13.8" square inches (unverified)
384,000 divided by 13.8 = 27,826 pixels density per square inch ...
(If my calculations are correct on the Helix) ...
So the Helix total resolution is almost as high as the 798 ...

Constructing a route ... From Greg in another forum ...
You have to tell the unit what waypoints to use in your route. You can make a route two ways as the manual says. Go under the Nav menu tab and select the Waypoints, Routes, Tracks menu and use the right arrow key to open the menu. Use the Up arrow key to get to the Options menu and open it. Select New then New Route and name the route. When done with that you will go to the Plan Route menu and start selecting waypoints. Don’t forget to save it when you are done. The way to make a route ‘on the fly’ is to move the cursor when on the Chart View, to a location or a waypoint you already have marked and then use the GOTO button. Select additional waypoints until you have your route constructed, then go to the Xpress menu on the Chart View and select Save Current Route.
You can also make a route in the HumminbirdPC program.
Garmin's new xducers ...GT30 GT40 GT50
Posted by troyboy
QUOTE=TroyBoy30;5925424]heres a reply i got from my garmin tech rep when i asked the difference between the new transducers. im going with all gt50's
One thing worth noting is that the 30 does not have traditional scanning, period. I don’t know if you will want it on there but I figured it was something to share. Beyond that, the 40 and 50 have minor different frequency ranges, but that won’t really affect you. The only difference beyond that is the 50 has CHIRP on traditional, whereas the 40, while it is technically bit more powerful (which won’t affect you), it’s locked at either 77 or 200 kHz.[/QUOTE]
Helixt is compatible with Navionics products that are on 2GB cards. That is what GOLD, Hotmaps Premium and Navionics+ are.
The Navionics+ is the best choice since it will give you Sonar Charts and Nautical Charts and has the same coverage choice as the GOLD and Hotmaps Premium.
Plus it is does not have regional restrictions. You download the waters you want from anywhere in the US and Canada up to the max 2GB card capacity.

QUOTE=jhebert;4002914]The 5-Hz and 10-Hz metrics refer to the frequency of the position solution of the GNSS receiver. This has no effect on signal strength or on accuracy of the position solution. GNSS receivers with a 10-Hz position solution just provide more position solutions per second than a 5-Hz receiver.
There is nothing particularly fast or state of the art about a 10-Hz GNSS receiver. There are now consumer-grade GNSS receivers with 50-Hz update.
A very high update rate for position solution is only necessary if the receiver is moving rapidly. If you are operating a boat via auto pilot at a 3-MPH trolling speed, there is no practical difference between 5-Hz and 10-Hz update rates. If you are operating an airplane using an auto pilot at 200-MPH, there will be a difference in the response of the auto pilot. If you are driving either the 3-MPH or the 200-MPH boat or plane yourself, there is no difference in GNSS update rate for you, as you cannot tell the difference as a human interpreter of the position data.[/QUOTE]

QUOTE=Wayne P.;6409693]Don't know which version of the Navionics+ comes in that package.
The current Navionics+ card (16GB) is preloaded with US and Canada maps. ALL the maps that Gold and Hotmaps Premium regional cards have. Plus you can download Sonar Charts maps.
The discontinued version of Navionics+ (2GB) has no maps, you choose what locations to download to the card. Those locations can be the Gold and Hotmaps Premium maps. Plus you can download Sonar Charts.
Every new card includes a year of Freshest Data Updates. You can renew the Freshest Data Updates subscription after the year is ended for $99.
Navionics+ is customizable for what you want. You can delete, update, and add to the cards as many times as you want for a year. That includes all the maps on the preloaded version-some are doing that for units that have slow processors.
You can view the current maps on the Navionics website's Web App. You don't have to guess what the detail is for the locations you want. The Web App is updated every day "somewhere" so it is always current. You can keep up with any new data by doing a Freshest Data Update if you want.
You do not get the extra stuff that the Platinum version has like Satellite Overlay, 3D, and Photos.
Navionics maps are Nautical Charts-- all the products have the same map for a particular location.
Sonar Charts is user generated maps from uploaded sonar logs.
Navionics Hotmaps Premium cards have Nautical Charts and are regional issues.
Navionics Hotmaps Platinum cards have Nautical Charts, Satellite Overlay, 3D, Photos, and can have Sonar Charts downloaded and are regional issues.
Navionics+ is not regional and can have Nautical Charts and Sonar Charts of your choice.
Navionics Gold is mostly coastal, Great Lakes, major river areas[/QUOTE]

*2 map cards in the unit can be forced to read the map card in the left card slot when the "Chart Select" menu choice under the Chart tab is set to "Left Card Slot" ...
From CamoHunter in another forum ...
QUOTE=CamoHunter;4363353]If you have an 1198, you do not have AutoChart LIVE. Your only option is AutoChart or AutoChart Pro on a computer.
B]AutoChart LIVE[/B] is ONLY available on the ONIX and the newer Helix models (9, 10, 12). AutoChart LIVE is built into the actual depthfinder and allows you to create maps while on the water.
B]AutoChart[/B] and B]AutoChart PRO[/B]: The only difference between these two PC Computer softwares, is that AutoChart PRO adds the ability to create a Bottom Hardness layer and Side Imaging layer. Otherwise the two versions are identical. AutoChart and AutoChart PRO are computer programs, and you would need import your data from your depthfinder, into the computer program to create a map.
The bottom hardness layer, is ONLY visible in the computer software. There is no way to export that layer to your ZeroLines SD card.
The Side Imaging layer, you CAN export to your ZeroLines SD card, and view on your depthfinder.
As far as your question about loosing Lakemaster data. That will never happen. AutoChart & the ZeroLines SD card are completely separate. You are supposed to be able to display both at the same time though. Base Layer: Lakemaster, Overlay: AutoChart map. (pg. 17 of the Zeroline SD card manual). Some people have had issues getting that to work properly though, so they've had to choose to display one or the other.
Hope that answers all your questions![/QUOTE]
