Additionally, the unit supports a variety of view options, allowing users to select from different display modes to suit their preferences.

Integration with GPS is another key characteristic of the Humminbird 1197C SI. Built-in GPS capabilities allow anglers to mark waypoints, create routes, and access detailed maps and charts. This feature not only aids in navigation but also helps anglers return to successful fishing spots with ease.

The 1197C SI is also equipped with advanced networking capabilities, enabling it to connect with other devices, such as additional sonar units or autopilot systems. This increases the overall functionality and enhances the fishing experience by providing a more integrated system.

In conclusion, the Humminbird 1197C SI stands out for its advanced technologies such as Side Imaging, DualBeam sonar, and comprehensive GPS capabilities.
