Humminbird 1197c
This question is for someone who knows. We just got an 1197c si combo and for whatever reason it doesn't seem to have down imaging on it. Is this something that has to be added on like a software upgrade or are we just S.O.L???
PS. I know that Humminbird didn't have Down imaging on their original 1197's but we were lead to believe this was one of the newer 1197's but still not a 1198. We got a good deal on it and took it because we thought it had down imaging already on it... now were wondering if we shouldn't have just shelled out the extra for the 1198. Also I didn't realise how huge this 1197 was till I was messin with it.

Down Imaging was available with a software update. I forget the upgrade version it came with, but if you go to the website and get the most current, it will be there.
Just because you just bought it recently doesn't mean it hasn't been sitting on a shelf for two years....(though I have no idea how that would happen...these things are usually on back order).

First, go to the HB website and register your 1197. That makes you eligible to download all available upgrades. Next, if you haven't done so, pick up an SD memory chip. (I got a 2Gb chip from WalMart for around $10) Insert into the reader on your computer and download all the upgrades for your 1197 to that chip. Take it out and insert it into the holder on your unit and turn it on. It will automatically load all the upgrades and install to the unit. If you have problems, by all means call HB Customer Service. Good luck.

I figured as much, but what really got me was how the guy told us that the unit had the DI upgrades already. Not a big deal though, 5 minute upgrade. Just the principle of the thing you know. Awesome graph regardless.
