Thread: Jumping into the SI market?

During 'split screen view' does each window have complete setting functionality...or does the window I want to change a setting in have to be pulled to 'full screen view' before I can change a setting...??

Not sure how the Di software will work for this but on the larger units (like the 997 and 1197) you have a menu that allows you to select which side of the screen is active and all menu adjustments will be for that side only. Remember that some menus are the same for 2D and Si sonar (Chart Speed).

I was able to finally find this info in the pdf product manual that I downloaded from HB....although the 1197 manual only speaks of being able to split the screen in 2....I assume (and hope) that it will also be true with the 2010 model that splits the screen into 3....

Some still prefer the NVB bundle units – especially the salt water guys as these charts have not changed much since the NVB units were introduced. In either version you can still use a Navionics (and soon to come LakeMaster) mapping card.

Ain't too many crappies to be found in salty waters Mr Greg. FYI

This is a 3-way split screen from my 1197, loaded with a pre-release version of the Down Imaging software. DI in the upper left, 2D (I'm running 200/83) in the lower left, and SI on the right.

I don't understand the shadows on the down imaging? I know what the shadows are. But how can you have shadows looking down?

Good pics.

Jason, why do prefer to run the blended 200/83 kHz frequency setting (on the 2D) over just the 200 kHz or the 83 kHz setting..??

My question too tough? I guess I watched Gary Cooper too much. No shadows at high noon maybe?

True CP, not many crappie in salty water, but I was pointing out that some fishermen still prefer to buy the NVB units. Mainly the salt water guys since their maps have not changed at all or have not changed much. I should have also pointed out that on some lakes the Navionics maps will not cover up into the shallow waters which the NVB maps may since they are based on some of the older Navionics map card data that included this.

As for the shadows we won’t know for sure until the Di software is released and it is more fully explained. My guess is that these are the same shadows shown in the left-right Si data. If I understand it right; the Di data is a blend of what is shown in the Si data. I think that if Jason were running his unit with a 30 foot Si Range that you would be able to more clearly see the shadow that that last fish crib on the (upper) left made and these would match up.
