Humminbird PC is a waypoint management program that is available to owners of Humminbird chartplotters and GPS/sonar combo units. Registered owners of these units can download Humminbird PC from the Humminbird website, as quickly and easily as you would download a software update for your unit. And best of all, Humminbird PC is free!

In doing so, I installed a Humminbird 997c Side Imaging combo at the console of my boat, and spent the better part of the past month familiarizing myself with the capabilities of this unit.
