798 si hd

Another question on my new 798.  when trolling slow 1.5-2.5 mph the course up isnt working it looks more like its in north up mode but it is'nt.  works fine when I'm traveling from a to b but not while trolling.  it'd be tough to troll to or create waypoints this way.  anyone else experience this?

If the unit is not sure about the direction you are heading than it defaults to showing the map in North up.  I would make sure that your software is up to date (as you always should) in case our Engineers make any corrections to this and not let us know about it.

The latest software update 5.410 will help, but it still freezes on the last heading when going slow. Close but no cigar.

I had heard that was supposed to be corrected in the next software release which should be very soon.
