Humminbird has worked hard over the past couple of months since first announcing Down Imaging and we have been able to overcome the issues with 797 memory capabilities and we are going to be releasing 797 software that does contain Down Imaging capabilities.
We have released software for the new DownImaging on Humminbird.com
that's awesome. I'm continually impressed by you guys - nice work!
I just downloaded it for the 997. Too bad it will be until May or so when we have soft water. :'(
You can always come back to Michigan, we have soft water in March sometimes.
Oh that's right, the season is closed till late April.
Yeah, but next door is Indiana, we can go there :)
Sweet! Now I don't HAVE to step up to the 997. I still might... but at least I don't have to anymore.
OK, I'm on the site and I do not see anywhere to download updates. I'm probably staring right at it... but how about a little help!!
Edit #3... looks like you have to register the unit before you can upgrade it. Guess it will have to wait till I get home.

In case you haven't seen it yet, once you register your unit, you should see all of the available updates for it. Depending on which unit you have, there may be several.
I cant seem to find it I have the 797 c2 .

You MUST register your unit before you can do anything.
I did when I bought it no upgrades on my home screen.
Once you log in it should take you to this screen where you can click on the updates to download them:

Yes that screen pops up. I only have the old upgrades from when the unit was new
when you down load the update will the base maps be updated as well?

Only the software will be updated. The base map is not upgradable.
