Thread: Humminbird Update on Software Release

Will the matrix 97 get the gps update?

I have not heard that the Matrix 97 will get this update, but than they may not have taken the time to look that far back into our products yet, so I’m not 100% sure it won’t.

is not available to me, well without a trip to town then it is not the best, just wi fi so will humminbird have the card to send to us in the sticks kinda folks to make the upgrade when the 797 release is abailable?

I know that we have done this in the past beagle man. When the time comes though you would have to call the Humminbird Customer Resource folks to make sure (1-800-633-1468).

can do and will do thanks for the reply

I feel like a 797 red headed step child about right now.

Plse let us know how your 1197 does after update, thanks. by the time the 997 upate is out,Jan2010, we will have ice on all our lakesup here-but that won't stop me as I am able walk the unit -Portable- and will try it at walking speeds.
Hey folks maybe its me but so far only one report on the new GPS Update since it came out does not make sense to me when u think how critical a good GPS is to finding brush piles,structure??????? I would think lots of people would be trying it out?? Guess its me??
I know if it works I'll be happier than a dog rolling in them road apples

I ran it fast and as low as .7 mpg circled boat and the direction needle would keep up with boat direction, finding waypoint should be in real time now. This update will make a lot of HB owners happy. When the down image download comes available I may be mounting the 1197 on the bow.:D

You didn't get down to the .2 mark did you?

At what speed does the donut turn on? The big Zero?

Man I sure hope it covers the Matrix 97. As much as it cost it should go back to it. Shoot there still selling them. But guess if they don't I can use it for target practice.
