New software has been posted on the Humminbird web site this afternoon. So far I only see software for the 1157c and 1197c Si units but believe there will be more to come. Here
 
Thank goodness they got those Bulgarian fonts corrected. :rolleyes:
 
"Thank goodness they got those Bulgarian fonts corrected."

LOL at Dick! :D





While I was in a meeting late yesterday afternoon there was also posted on the Humminbird web site, the same 4.700 software update for the 718, 728, 778c and 788c units. There will be more throughout this week and possibly next week as well. So be sure to log onto the Humminbird web site and check for updates for your Humminbird unit.



Some issues with the Humminbird web site when logging in: be sure to select the "Login" button with your mouse cursor or it will take you to a search page.



Also remember to reset the menus back to the factory defaults (use the "Restore Defaults" menu) before and after you update the software.

Greg, will there be an update for the 987C and 947C? Looking for the faster chart updates.



thanks! Bill, the MadKayaker
 
Bill,

Unofficially I have heard that there will be for the 987 but I have not heard anything about the 947c 3D getting it. May just be that no one I spoke to has mentioned it yet. Either way it will be after the first of the year before the software for these are ready as the Engineers are hard at work on the 2010 year model stuff right now.
