[FONT=times new roman,times]Humminbird® Expands Innovative Sonar Offerings[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]With the Addition of Down Imaging<SUP>TM</SUP>[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]Highly Popular "Side-to-Side" Picture-Like View Now Includes View Below the Boat[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]EUFAULA, Ala. (Sept. 28, 2009) - Expanding on an impressive list of sonar capabilities, Humminbird® announces the addition of Down Imaging<SUP>TM</SUP> Sonar to its groundbreaking Side Imaging® technology.[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]"Humminbird's goal continues to be to provide anglers with the most innovative technology and Down Imaging is the next step in that process," said Dale Logue, product manager for Humminbird. "Adding Down Imaging to Side Imaging, and our new SwitchFire<SUP>TM</SUP> Traditional Sonar, the opportunity to find highly productive fishing spots is unprecedented."[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]Like Humminbird's innovative Side Imaging Sonar, which revolutionized the marine electronics industry, Down Imaging presents picture-like images of the bottom. Down Imaging views are focused directly beneath the angler's boat, giving a detailed look at structure and the water column. Down Imaging and Side Imaging together give anglers an incredibly detailed, full 180° view of the bottom.[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]Split-screen viewing options provide the ability to view Side Imaging, Down Imaging and SwitchFire Sonar separately, in groups of two, or all three at once.[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]"Humminbird created an entirely new category with Side Imaging, and now Down Imaging uses that same technology to give anglers an advantage like no other," said Logue.[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]A free software upgrade to add Down Imaging will be available in January to current owners of Humminbird models with Side Imaging (except 797c2 SI) by simply registering their product at Humminbird.com. No new hardware or transducer is required. All new Side Imaging models (998c SI and 898c SI) come standard with Down Imaging capabilities, with existing models (1197c SI and 798c SI) adding the feature as a running change in 2010.[/FONT]
