997si Son of a Ditch video clip....

[Cane Pole]

Could not follow this track I made last week. I was traveling a 4mph, but gps/map would not respond fast enough to follow the ditch. I got some good shots. Turn you sound on....Enjoy the video.


Could not follow this track below using 997si GPS.

Thanks for the video, I think the 997 is great. I found some old bridges that I never knew were there. How did you get the recording from the unit to this post.

I'm curious as well. Do you need some special software to get it onto your computer? I have a 997 but have not messed with video yet.

Good video-enjoyed it,thanks

that the ditch is fairly straight with a gradual dogleg.

The video is deceiving. It looks like the ditch is crooked, but it's not.

This is my inability to keep the boat on the track. The HB gps would not update fast enough at 4 mph to help me keep the gps direction arrow on the track.

Also, mod V boats don't "steer" good at slow speeds. They tend to roam on their own.

I wanted to track down the center of the ditch following the track. Impossible.
I just can't get it to follow the line.

Maybe someone from Humminbird will volunteer to come show me. I will provide a place to stay, food, and even let him catch a fish (if he can). Shoot, I don't mind being showed up. One thing for sure, I will be honest and unbiased in my reports about this stuff.

Tom that is what I like to do with mine. It makes me smile each time I can follow a creek channel or even old drainage ditch like that.

That looks like a good place to spider rig in the winter!

Shoot, I'd get rid of the thing if it won't update any faster than that.....Get a good handheld or something...

I was gonna try out some different gps units. Water got too rough with big boats.

This is the 997 GPS I was using on this particular run.
