ok, I did turn on the spot sounding feature and that brought back my numeric readings.. However, the 898 with the new update would require me to reset the factory defaults from time to time to allow the charts to actually show.. Not sure if this is a factor of the new update issues or not but I will give it a full ring-out Friday while on the water..

I may doing this all wrong due to the fact I'm a dinosaur. On my iPad when I punch in these coordinates it puts me on land 1/10 of a mile away. Try this 36 53 23.2 x 88 08 06.7 and see where it takes you. Should be a submerged culvert. Comes up correct on my bird and on my Atlantic mapping map but consistently off on iPad.
I got no location indication other than the middle of a cove on Kentucky Lake with no contours or symbols in real shallow water.
That is with an updated Navionics Platinum East card.

Thanks Wayne, seems to be difference in Atlantic mapping coordinates.
Do you know which map datum the Atlantic map is using?
Has anybody identified some of the new sonar charts updates on their HB unit?

There was a little bit of it released in the 632P+ (S FL) area, but continues to be improved in final stages of testing prior to release here in the US.
Keep recording. And uploading (if you are enrolled with a beta test permission). If not, just keep those recordings handy. It'll go live this spring, and you'll want to submit all you've got!
Thanks, I wasn't quick enough to get in on the beta testing.
I have seen a preview of one lake that was partially recorded by someone I know and the part of the lake that wasn't recorded was assigned HD lines and those are rediculously in error. Contours in the 20' depth range where an actual island is. I recorded that area yesterday--my trolling motor was bumping the bottom near that island in that 20' of water contour.
I sent an email about that area to the Navionics site this morning with GPS coordinates to compare to Google Earth.

Wayne,
Please send me the information you mention. Nothing has been released yet on lakes to see any such detail. additionally how you describe it sounds very odd. the only way that could be is a lake that is a brand new lake but again, we havent released any sonarchart data as of today so curious to what you have seen. shoot me a message with those cords also please. like to see what youre looking at.
okay stymie. give me a bit. getting caught up from classic.
Paul, I have Plat+ 630 Eastern GOM and SC N FL 642 do I enable the bathymetric layer on the HB 998 to see sonar charts?
I didn't see this thread.... Help??

OK. I've been patiently waiting now for a week. Paul, are you out there?
Sorry Stymie.... been a really crazy week. been home 4 days out of 6 weeks. got a bit buried from HQ. I promise i will look into by Monday. at another show so should get some time today. need a secretary. correction, need a hot secretary.
fsae: on the Humminbird you need to select chart. click it to the chart slot the card is in and select "right side fish n chip". that will be the sonar charts. right now it isnt fully active yet. just touching up a couple last things. you may see some changes already now but isnt 100% dynamic yet. for saltwater you will see some big changes just in going there from nautical chart layer.
offshore, I saw the thread. not sure what your asking but my guess is you want the Platinum chart providing plotter compatability. The marine and lakes is a great local chart but for what you are asking, go platinum. the sat overlays will help some inshore and the advanced bathy on fish n chip/sonarcharts for inshore bathy and offshore bathy will help you immensely!
LOL @ Stymie. Is that kind of like calling Flight attendants an air waitress? So as promised I did take a look at those areas. You are correct. On thos eparticualr areas we do not have detail. This means one of two reasons. One is that we just didnt get a survey boat into those areas for some reason. low water, trees, time, ramp, not sure. Secondary reason could be that we had bought that detail to supliment what we did do on survey and for whatever reason missed that spot or had bad soundings. In which case recently we dropped off some contracts that we found "not as good" as what we expect and that could have been an area like that. The answer will be the new SonarCharts on Humminbird where once someone does a quick recording on those areas, it will generate a map for that area. Obviously as the community of boaters does additonal SonarCharts it will get more and more exact.
