Humminbird Help

[adamarnold]

i see some guides on here use humminbird and im hoping maybe they can help me with a few questions i have. i currently run the 797c si unit and am thinking of selling it and upgrading to the 1197 unit. my questions are can you buy the 1197 with down imaging and the new switchfire mode already on it or do u just buy the 1197 and then download the updates from you computer to your unit. also if you do have to download does that cost money. i have been researching but am just a little confused. thanks in advance for the help.

The downloads are free once you have reg, with Humminbird very easy to do. Also The new units coming out now have all this on them ( I belive ) I have the 997 SI got it at BP when the new units were coming out 1/2 off the best $1000. I have ever spent and one of the most easy units to use. If I am wrong about any of this Capt. Don can help you out, good luck

Adamarnold, all of the updates are free and very easy to install.. You can still purchase the 2009 1197 model and upgrade, should save you a few bucks or you can purchase the new 1198 with the software already install.. No big changes on the 1198 but the software upgrades installed.. I use the 1197 model and well I'm very happy with it.. Any ither questions or need some help just ask!!

1197c is still a current model for 2010. It depends on date of manufacture if it will have the latest updates. All 2010 product produced after Jan 12 will have the latest updates installed. If not it's a simple download - free of charge for the life of the unit.
