Ipilot Link Circle Mode Not Found

[vetleap]

I have a 2017 Ulterra with Link that is attached to a Humminbird 858c. I can't find "circle mode" anywhere in any menus. My suspicion is my 858c is not compatible with this option. All updates are current heading sensor has been calibrated. Any thoughts?

There has not been an update on xxx8 series units for some time now. And won't be. That is a feature from this year. Bob

Last update was 6-22-15 v7.660 for this unit which I have. Guess I'm sol on the feature.

Correct, you'll need an xx9 or newer HB to enable all the features.

I may be selling my 859 DI soon if you are thinking of changing units...

Probably won't be looking to change it out soon. I actually like the 858..

You have to use the remote control if you have 800 series Humminbirds. The original Helix 9 & 10 as well as the 7 G2N have the virtual remote control. Your's does not. But the remote control will do you just fine.

Interesting..where and how in the remote? I can't find it... I assume the sequence would be goto waypoint > select waypoint and then??
