I agree it would be a chore to change cards anytime you wanted to make a recording on the fly ...

When I first started with my 1197 ...one of my common practices was to quit fishing about one hour before dark...

I would then motor to a point away from the boat ramp about 1/4 mile down the same bank as the boat ramp...

Then I would start recording and record the entire bank from that point all the way to the boat ramp...

Then (when I got home)... I could load that recording into the Unit and Humviewer and study my recording without the interruptions of fishing and such...(marking waypoints as I progressed thru the recording)...

Then I could verify those waypoints the next time I was fishing that same area...

Studying the recording at home is such a great learning tool in sonar interpretation ...not to mention the experience in learning waypoint management thru Humviewer and HBPC and "HBPC to head unit transfers"...
