Kevin Van Dam Also joins the humminbird team... There is a article on it and KVD on Wired2Fish!!!! Also new models, 998 and 898(come pre loaded with new software).. This will be a software update no need for new hardware or trasducers, just a download that will be ready in January... Folks with 797 wont be able to have down imaging but the 1197, 997 and 798 will!!

Ohh CARP.
Is it a patch to existing units or does it require replacing my trusty 997's?

I saw it somewhere else and it looks like a big selling point!

OK, I'm ignorant. What's the difference between the 798 and the 797? (besides 1 number!)

Nope, actually the 798 is an updated version of the 797. It had the following changes

- Higher res screen (640x640 vs 640x480 pixels) Both rated at 5" diagonal
- 2nd SD slot allows for Lake Maps and screen saving
- 3 User defined buttons
- Better GPS

Stress less, relax more. Go fishing.
