Look for the software updates shortly
There are four new software features in the Side Imaging Units for 2011. They are:
Contour / Terrain Mode
SI Navigation
Down Imaging Zoom
Side Imaging Range Lines
These features are in the 2011 798ci SI HD, 898cSI, 998c SI and 1198c SI models. Software upgrades for previous side imaging units (1197,997,987 and 798). The 797 and 981 will not get these software upgrades
With Contour Mode OFF the water column is shown as it has been since we first came out with SI. Showing the water column can be valuable as it shows suspended fish and great shots of structure near or under the boat; however, the display of the water column can be confusing to some. The image above is a submerged railroad track built up on a bed of rock and dirt
Actually just updated mine. It is available now but I’m sure you all knew that already. I am a fan of the contour mode especially if you have a smaller unti as the water column can take up a fair amount of your screen.
