Title: New Humminbird software release for 997 owners! Yes!
Post by: Waterfoul on May 22, 2012, 08:51:13 AM
Looks like it's basically the same release they had earlier in the year for the 998.  Removeable readouts, casting rings, North up indicator, and SI range lines are the ones that immediately caught my attention.

Go to Meijer or WalMart where they sell the SD cards. They have a Mojo SD card that comes with the SD card adapter, and it comes with a card reader that plugs into a usb port on your computer. I bought one for each of my units, think they were $12 each. You can also buy them at your cell phone carrier's store. More expensive there.

Ok, I'd really like someone to walk me through this. I do a lot of things on the computer, and just cant figure this out. I got a card reader. I have an SD card in the right slot. I follow the directions as I read them, and nothing happens. I'm lost.
