I have a 788ci HD. I see there is a new update (version 6.640). Has anyone updated a 788ci HD to this version?
I have a problem with the unit not reading water depth properly below ten feet. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I do not have the HD version but have updated, not much different for what I use, no negative effects.
When I have issues with the unit locking on I change the lower depth setting from auto to 10 or 15 ft. If you have sonar only screen on hit menu once and it should show up. Cursor over to adjust depth setting. I also like this as it keeps from changing the scaling automatically and I know how deep it is with a glance vs reading numbers.
I have a 1198C SI and a 958C and just updated them to software version 6.640
I pilot link controller updated to 1.150
I pilot remote updated to 1.160
Just did all these updates last week and I lost function of my Auto Pilot on the Terrova. I can turn it on with the remote or foot pedal and when I hit a button on the remote or foot pedal like turning a direction my auto pilot stops working but remote and foot pedal still show its on.
But as far as the 1198 and 958 units them self I have not noticed any glitches.
Currently working with customer service to see if its a software glitch or concidently my auto pilot went out.
Are you working with Humminbird or Minnkota. I had a similar issue with my terrova autopilot yesterday.I contacted Minn Kota they think its a voltage issue, I do Not. Wont know till next time im on the water. Keep us posted

Minnkota and they are trying to tell me its a voltage issue. I went through everything last night and I have all the proper voltages. Stoped into Actions in Anoka yesterday and talked with Jack and he said its either a voltage problem or the “head” is going bad. He said all the functions are with in the head and nothing you can really do other then replace it. Im heading to Winni in a few hours so will have to follow up with him when I get back next week about getting a new head under warranty. No autopilot is getting to be a real pain!
