Gary,

Make sure the file is not in a folder.  It has to be in the root directory. 

Also, try the other SD card slot and see if it recognizes it.

Make sure you have the correct file.  Do you have another unit in your Humminbird account?  If so, the files are different and cannot be used on different units.

If none of those work, try another SD card.

Other than that, I am stumped!

No, the update for the 997 will not work.  Each unit has its own update.  Even though the version number may be the same, the updates cannot be used between different model units.   The 1197 will not recognise the update for the 997.

You will need to download the 5.320 for the 1197.  Just register his unit on your account and the update will show up.  Its ok if you register it, they do not check duplicate serials.

If not, I need to upload it here on the forum anyway.

Robert,

I do alot of updates for my friends, and have about 4 1197s to update.  Is the new version available yet for an 1197, and if so, when do you think you will post it?

Thanks

Rollie

Reddog,
The 5.320 software has been released for the 1197c Si units.

Greg I don't believe Reddog has a 1197 he was asking when Robert was going to post the new updates for the 1197 on the Forum board so he could
update his friends 1197"S from there.   Gary   PS got my unit back Thanks
