Before you started the update did you restore factory defaults?
 You need to do another update !

 Turn your PC on Hook your unit up, turn the unit on, and leave it on. Restore factory
defaults. Go to updates answer yes an no start update when it is done Restore factory
defaults again . You should be good to go. Gary :) :) :)

You can update your 1197 from your pc or the card like you are doing. The 1197
might not like the card you are using.I use a small gig extreme 111 SD card  for
my updates.I would try a new download on a different SD card and try updating again.

finshingho,

Did you press the View button FIRMLY and did you hold it for a while?

If you connect the unit with your PC and start HumminbirdPC, does the unit tap show up on the left of your screen?
If not, maybe the usb hub isn't recognized be HumminbirdPC.

Hope this helps!

Regards / Harry

I think Chuck tried everything in the world to get his 1197 to work, to no avail.  I got a call from him yesterday, and he said that he called Humminbird, to see how much it would cost to send the unit back to them and have it fixed.

Humminbird's customer service informed him to send the unit back, and they would fix it and install the new updates on it, for NO CHARGE.  They said some units just didnt like to take the updates.  So basically it is going to cost him just the shipping.

Now that is what I call SERVICE.  It doesn't get any better than that.  Just one more reason for me to always use a Humminbird.

Chuck, give me a shout when you are ready to hit the water, we are long overdue.
