It sounds like Humminbird has a winner. The GPS speed has always been a complaint, and now it can finally be laid to rest. Excellent. Thanks again! Thank you very much for the great report jmack.

I have a lot of brush piles to crappie fish, so the need to get on top of them is very important to me. The tracking of the 1197 was very much improved. I dropped a bouy out, marked it as a waypoint, and did several figure eight patterns around it. Always navigating to the waypoint at slow speeds from .5 to 1.5 mph. Most of the time i would come within just a couple of feet from the bouy, two times i litterly ran over the bouy. This is a tremendous improvement from the past. I really liked the new screen color Amber. I can see things more clearly now. Can't wait for the new "Down Image" update. I loaded the updates for my 1197 and headed to the lake.

The GPS is quick and responsive and the new colors are nice. I tried SwitchFire a bit but I'm not sure how I will use it. My Report:
