Down loading lastest update issue
« on: June 16, 2015, 02:54:06 PM »
 I can log into the Humminbird website and when I click on my products or my profile it asks me to register a product. The 898 and the 858 have been registered sense they were new.All I'm after is the latest software update. It would seem we have a problem Houston :/ There is nothing wrong with my two units and I'm sure the warranty is past, have they stopped support for those two units? I'm mystified as to how no one could not notice this issue. I also noticed on this site here the newest updates for my units are missing in the downloads section. Any response would be very beneficial to me. When I tried to re register my products it asks for the SN# & date of purchase, the latter of which I can only guess at this point in time sense I purchased these units 3 or 4 years ago. A little bit aggravating to go though just for a software update :/

PS: I did contact Humminbirds Chat feature which didn't help and then went off line *Eye Rolls*

Thank you in advance for any input would be much appreciated.

Ok Chat the chat feature worked this last time the problem was the format I was using for the date of purchase. Ty for your time sry all

The HB website was redone about 2 years ago and some had to re-register by calling HB ...

If you haven't logged into your account in some time ... I would suggest calling HB and let them help you get your units properly re-registered ... 1-800-633-1468

It is known that all software versions available are not in the download section ... (Robert is a very busy guy and hasn't had access to all of them)...

If you know what version you would like, you can post a request in the forum and someone may be able to help get it to you ...

 Thanks Rick I jumped the gun. You would think as an avid fisherman I would of had more patience. After the sounders were re registered all the issues went away. My apologies for being a bit on the impatient side.

I went from 6.49 to 7.51 or something like that. Does the newest update show fish as well as the old one. And are there any known issues with these newest updates? Thank you for your website and all the help I sure do appreciate it.

I have read good reports with the newest versions ...

Experiment with the new "Jigging Mode" in the Sonar Xpress menu ... It's supposed to give ping priority to the 2d transmitter ...

Be sure to turn "Jigging Mode" off when switching back to viewing SI ... "Jigging Mode" off is supposed to give priority to the SI transmitters ...
