TRRANGER Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 I have a hummingbird 798 CI that I have mounted on the front of my boat I want to just use this for the mapping program as I have purchased a new helix 9 to mount at the front as well. Do I have to have a transducer mounted to the 798 to get it to function out of simulation mode.
grizwilson Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 You do not have to have transducer connected, I use my 798 si up front for map only, have the GPS puck connected and interlinked to the dash unit to share weigh points, there is a setting, for gps only in the menu, when I get a chance later in the week will hook up and tell you the steps, but works well for me. I am running a lowrance for my sonar. “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein

Go to set up menu, turn sonar off worked for me. “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
