Yep and there is a message out that the 797 will also get the new update also...

[Stroker Ace]

That is great news that the 797 might get the upgrade. I really don't want to have to buy another unit for my bow.

"Supports new NVB maps w/o Canada data. (NVB models only)"

Instructions:
Download to your computer and use the HumminbirdPC program to upload your unit. You may also copy the uploaded software to an MMC/SD card and then insert that card into your unit to update its code.

I just noticed this the other day and downloaded the updates. Anyone tried it yet???

[SkeeterShawn]

Hopefully tomorrow. I'll post some screen shots..

[javelin90]

Looking forward to them shots. I'm going out tomorrow and see how mine looks.

Well I went out to test it and forgot my SDcard Pretty impressive though. Once you get the sensitivity right it looks pretty comparable to Lowrance structure scan. The picture is pretty much unreal...

[javelin90]
