Wow, those are very distorted!I am having a problem with my gps and one of the things I have to do for the HS gps is download the latest software.I am wondering if I can download the 6.310 for this instead of the 6.610??
Hi Rnvinc,Try turning off the 83 kHz channel (i.e. only log 200 kHz.)I have confirmed that the problem described in the previous forum thread (see link below) is still there in the new versions of the firmware.(i.e. do not use 83 kHz if you want good recording quality...)Here is the link:http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=3890.msg23342#msg23342Tore
A couple of days ago, I reloaded 6.610 back onto my 1197 for another test.The 6.610 setup variables are different from 6.310 in trying to get good pictures. And the one thing I ran into was the Chart-Speed settings. On my 1197 I almost had to leave the C-S set to 1 to avoid distortion and pixilation with SI and 2D images.Here you can see where I changed Chart-Speed from 1 to a Chart-Speed of 6:The higher the C-S the more distortion. And C-S setting of 1 is to slow displaying.
wonder why some are complaining on others of us are actually getting better images with our 1198s?
Rick I have a 1197 updated to 6.61. No on the water yet,but as i posted above in demo mode 2d has issues.
I have noticed the same thing, RNVINC, concerning the lack of crispness on 6.61, however I need it for the iplink! I am running an 1198, hopefully they will get it corrected. I have tried every setting I could think of and cannot get as good of an image as before.
I had my 1197cSI and 6.610 on-the-water, but did not zoom in live on any SI screens, but this was before I read this thread. My 2D setting was 83/200.I DO SEE the jagged effect viewing recordings taken with both Humviewer and DeepViewFV viewers.Hope that helped. I have returned my 1197 and 998 to earlier releases.
Lets hope it all works ok with the "858" because I,m about to pull the old gps puck off the bow and use it for the portable set up and permanently mount the AS GPS HS puck on the front. We'll see theres no side imagining on the 858 of course. Lets hope for no issues, I'll post on this thread if there is. *Fingers crossed* Gat"
RickieJust want to make sure that readers know all units are having issues. It seems that some folks are convinced installation and settings are to blame. Too many issues being posted for that to be true. Not really frustrated as I like my Ipilot Link and HS puck enough I can deal with the issues for now. As stated on BBC Humminbird CS has told me more than once they are aware of the problems some are reporting. Admit to issues in two updates in a short time period?? Highly unlikely...... I actually came looking for something else ..... lol
Will do Fish I,m still catching up on work from this looong winter. Won't get out for at least a week and a half, heck we still have ice and it,s May 8
The 2d on both my 1198 and 998hd (both new) are terrible with 6.610. One problem I, and others, have seen is after the update it's almost like you are in another part of the lake. For example I was in a wind-blown area of the lake and bait/fish were everywhere. When I stopped and upgraded to 6.610 from 6.49 I though my unit had an issue. The place that before was loaded with life was basically blank space. I can get it usable by turning up the sensitivity but then the screen starts to clutter and I can't seem to get rid of that. It is also very pixelated. There are posts with units that seem to be working fine though. Another one of those strange glitches that are a part of this update. Hope it works for you and keep us posted. I assume HB follows all of these forums and any information they get is good for us end users.James
what nonsense? I have seen zero issues with 6.610 on either of my 1198s. I'm actually getting better images as are a ton of people on the trail. for every 1 person reporting problem, there are 10 loving the ner version. your always going to see issues on the forums. people don't come to forums to post about units with no problems. im sorry some of you are having issues but that does not mean everyone is. your only seeing a very small % of users posting on forums
Troy, just where do you find all the positive reviews for 6.610? Please provide a link or the forum where you are finding "for every one person reporting problem, there are 10 loving the new version" and the ton of people on the trail that you say are getting better images, who are they and where do you find their testimonials? Please provide the proof to back up what you are saying.
you would have to talk to the pros in person. they dont come to forums to post, much less just to post that everything works as it should for them
besides my own experience, all the members of my club and all of the tour professionals who i have personally talked to, no. there are several positive reviews on BBC and other forums. why don't you take the time and search for them. positive reviews are always in the minority on the internet. people who are happy don't bother posting....people who have issues do
ITGEEK (and others I'm sure) have an 1197 but I'm not sure if he's even willing to try 6.610...
This is my thought process for doing updates:IF anybody, from anywhere has anything negative to say about the update, then I DON'T DO IT.ELSE I wait two months and watch and listen for problems.IF AFTER TWO MONTHS AND NO PROBLEMS then I will gladly update.The two month wait/watch clock has just started for version 6.640
why? i dont have to prove anything to you. i could care less if you believe me or not. i posted scans from doug. do what you want with them. i never said people arent having issues. i said not everyone is having issues. some actually think the images are better. the 10% of owners who post on forums does not give an accurate representation of the other 90% that do not. My setting are the same as they have always been. I basically use doug v's settingsthe newest update seemed to make more minor improvements for some. some are still reporting that images are not as good as 6.490. some of us have to use the newest software to support accessories we have. seems to me a lot more 1997 owners are having issues than 1198 owners. maybe they should take out the changes for 360 and ipilot link and offer those as additions to the main firmware for those that need it and give us a firmware without the issues that 360 and ipilot link created. ive halfway considered going to lowrance but they are having issues as well.
the % numbers i used are just an example. of course i dont have anything to back them up. do you have anything to back yours up? did you magically poll every single humminbird user in the world? if you did i bet youd be very surprised.you're obviously not very bright. I posted and said with our 1198's because we both have 1198's! its not rocket science. i never claimed they were my images, your assumed that, thus making an ass of yourself. i didnt post any of my shots because i dont take screen shots. i mark way points and fish, not try to make pretty pictures for the internet.you tell me in one breath that my saying some or not having issues is somehow the same as saying no one has any issues. then you turn around basically say that since some have issues, everyone does. pot meet kettleill say this one more time. these forums do not accurately represent the owners as a whole. only a very small % of owners post on forums. if you believe that to be untrue you need to step away from the computer and get outside some. for every 1 person here who complains, there are 100's more in the real world who are very happy. how you can think that since we have 10 people here posting issues that means everyone has the same issues is beyond me
The following is part of the post from another thread on this site posted by ITGEEK! "I know it's a bad time for lots of users.I have faith that Humminbird will eventually work out allthe problems.As an end-user, I have to trust the people that made theproduct.The good news is that these complaints aren't going unnoticed.Humminbird is going to have to step up and get a handle on theseupdates if they want to stay in business. We know that, andthey know that."+1
