Kirt, it’s my understanding that Humminbird is constantly loading their most recent software into units as they ship.
Their software updates are also downloadable off the web.
Have you checked out the side imaging group on yahoo? Lots of good chatter there about software issues and upgrades.
oh yah, call me research king
Hey Kirt! 
Jason’s right. It’s easy enough to update. I don’t know that there is a “best time” but I would suggest you always check with me before you purchase to see if there’s anything on the horizon.
Have you seen the new SI units? Ten inches of monster screen. 
1197C SI
Thanks guys, I am going to pull the pin and get a 997 SI,
I was wondering Wade, are the maps in the NVB package upgradable thru downlaods?
Also what is a used 3500 C worth?
Unfortunately, the maps through the bundle aren’t upgradeable. The only way to get updates is to buy the chips. The map chip in the card reader will load instead of the bundle.
Jason
Hmmm. so if you want the latest maps you still have to buy a chip.
That is good to know

Kirt, Jason is correct on the maps. As for the 3500C, I would guess you could get $350 or so out of it, maybe even around $400 depending on the condition of the unit. I got your phone message and will get back to you asap.

Wadw back at you
Overall it was a great year in my opinion. I met 3 new hunting buddies and had good hunts with them all from Wisconsin. We had some good hunts we had some bad hunts but still the bad hunts are good hunts when you are in good company. Here are a few pics from this fall in Wisconsin these are the better hunts. I hunted by myself also but to me it isn’t as much fun hunting by yourself when you can hunt with good buddies.
Early season goose with QW and Duck Magnet in my wheat field.
Quacker Wacker, WI Sportsman, and myself with a few birds from a weekend hunt on Quacker wackers field.
Another weekend hunt in Quacker Wackers Field. This day Schultzee also was with us.
Another hunt with Quacker Wacker, WI sportsman, and myself in my field.
Our sea duck hunt on Lake Michigan. Duck Magnet, QW, and myself once again.
Finally yesterdays hunt. Again it was QW, WI sportsman, altrocker1, and myself in my corn field.
nice! a little leg iron on that one honker huh. im so jelous of the squaws

How deep was the water you set on in Lake Michigan???
Mark
Nice pics. Was that one honker pretty white or was I just seeing things? Cool pics of the ocean birds.
Gotta love those early fall hunts in short shirt sleeves!!

Ya a biologist saw it and said it was a genetic defect. It is going on the wall. My one buddy shot it and is getting it mounted.
That is pretty cool! 
Nice.
