That message got sent out by accident.  The 5.700 software is the same version as was already out there.  Please disregard that message.

Should not HB make a note of that on their page and say that an inadvertant message indicated the wrong info...
Sure would help some of the guys if HB would acknowledge screwups...

I have not heard anything yet but than I have not been to any meetings that would have mentioned this for over a month now (vacation, illness and work schedule to blame…).

I will probably not hear anything until it gets released on the Humminbird web site but I will try and post back when that happens – unless someone else beats me to it.
