    Yes, you can choose to hide some or all readouts on the sonar views but in navigation view you can't.

    By transparent you mean you can "barely" see through them at the picture under it? If this can be changed to completely transparent and only see the numbers then I'm your huckleberry! Let me know. I have the 899 and that "white" semi see thru side bar for the readings is annoying at times. Maybe HB can incorporate a change to this sometime in the future? I'd be thankful for sure!!

    Yes by transparent I mean opaque see thru white ... Still YUKKY ...

    Older post but thought I would share. Digitaloasis.com has very impressive pricing on most electronics.

    How do you do that? I went into my menu on my 899 and selected which ones I wanted showing and the one like yours shows but I have a solid white area where the other ones are not showing. That dang white transparent are will not go away!!!!

    shut off all but depth
    It has to be all OFF and depth @ top position.
    As fas as NAV screens - you will have COG position #2 and SOG at the bottom.
    If you have depth on, it will display the 3rd box, just for YOU Rickie....

    Oh that request was more for the 800/900 series owners that want to know more about the Readout options ...

    I was just asking for them ... because I knew you had the answer ...
