Topic: 788ci HD DI - Menu & Demo Issue

[BazzaD]

Hi Everyone,
Fairly new to my 788 and have noticed since I updated software to the latest version I have lost the Export All Nav Data menu option under the Navigation Tab. Any ideas what may have caused this?
Also when I start the unit in Demo mode, I only get Navigation and DI demo, with no Sonar - not matter whether Sonar is selected on or off. This is with the unit mounted in the boat.
Any help on these issues would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Bazza

To export all NAV data,
Under the NAV menu, select 'Waypoint, tracks, and routes'
Then select all.
Then export.

I'm not sure about the sonar in demo mode question.

Hi ITGeek,
Thanks for the response. Has this procedure changed from the original procedure listed in the Manual?
1. Ensure SD card is installed
2. Press Menu key twice, to access Main Menu, then press RIGHT cusor until Navigtaion tab is selected
3. Highlight Export All Nav Data and press RIGHT cursor key

3 is where the problem is - there is no longer the Export All Nav Data option?
Cheers,
Bazza

Bazza,
On my 1197, my newest software upgrade has the Waypoint Management System.
Since then, the menu item to export all Nav data has changed on my unit.

I don't know if your software has the Waypoint Management System or not.
But, if you have had a software update since you bought your unit, you may
have to search around in the NAV menu to find how to do it.
The manual will be outdated.

Bazza,
If you are running the latest version software for your 788ci HD DI unit than it should be version 5.840 that has the Waypoint Management menus in it.  Look under the new menus on your 788ci HD DI unit until you find the Export menu.  I am not familiar enough with the waypoint Management software yet to tell you where it is.  Also; make sure that you have some Nav Data in the unit to export as well.

Here is the page from the Waypoint Management manual that talks about Exporting Nav Data:

Hi Greg & IT Geek,
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. The waypoint management menu is fairly different to the original menu, I probably should have read up more before the upgrade.

Appreciate the help!
