About this item
- 5" widescreen display
- Features CHIRP Digital Sonar, CHIRP Down Imaging, GPS mapping, AutoChart Live, the new Humminbird Basemap, DualBeam PLUS and SwitchFire
- CHIRP Down Imaging: Filter out noise and clutter for a clearer view beneath your boat. It's the perfect blend of CHIRP Digital Sonar precision and Down Imaging detail
- CHIRP Digital Sonar: View details that other forms of sonar won't show you. Humminbird CHIRP Digital Sonar is engineered to help you see individual fish, clearly identify bait and structure, and reach greater depths and range
- SwitchFire Sonar: Take command of how your sonar returns appear. With two display modes, you can add or remove detail, account for water depth, temperature and turbulence, even watch lure presentations - all at the push of a button
- Dual Beam PLUS Sonar: Two beams combine for great detail and a generous coverage area, helping you identify fish, structure and contours. Use the narrow beam for high-accuracy returns of fish, structure, detail and the bottom profile. Opt for the wide beam when you want a larger search area. You can view the beams separately, side-by-side or blended together for the complete picture. Your coverage area will be equal to your depth
- Humminbird Basemap Built-in: Our enhanced standard basemap provides you with a clear view of underwater terrain and surrounding points of interest so you can fish and navigate with total confidence. Identify buoys, daymarkers, hazards, marinas, contours, depth markers and much, much more. Includes charts of more than 10,000 lakes, plus coastal coverage for the U.S.
- AutoChart Live: Create real-time maps of your fishing spots, with access to patented Humminbird LakeMaster features. Map depth contours, bottom hardness and vegetation as you drive your boat, with eight hours of built-in recording time.

Humminbird Sonar Technology

2D SonarIf your goal is to locate and see fish more clearly, start here. Humminbird’s 2D sonar offerings are far from two-dimensional. Whether you’re fishing freshwater lakes, coastal waters or the ice, you’ll find the right solution for your environment and prey. |
SwitchFireSwitchFire lets you control the way your returns appear. With two display modes—Max Mode and Clear Mode—you can choose how much detail, including fish, structure and thermoclines, you want to see or un-see. |
Dual BeamWith a wide beam for more search area or a narrow beam for more precision, DualBeam shows you fish and the bottom. DualBeam Plus lets you combine the two beams for even more detail. |
Digital CHIRPCHIRP stands for 'Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse.' That’s a fancy way of saying it can show you fish that other forms of 2D sonar can’t. How’s that? CHIRP scans the water for fish similar to the way the seek function on your truck’s radio scans the airwaves for FM stations. By covering a wide range of frequencies, CHIRP produces more accurate, more detailed returns of fish, structure and the bottom. |
Humminbird Imaging Technology
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Imaging - It's all in the detailsAmazing Humminbird Imaging sonar shoots high-frequency beams below the surface to reveal structure, cover and contours with crystal clarity. |
Side Imaging - Nowhere to HideGain an unprecedented, side-to-side perspective on the world below the surface with Side Imaging. In an instant, the ultra-thin beam scans the area to the left and right of your boat location. The return image for each slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredible view of the lake bottom. (image displays MEGA Side Imaging) |
Down Imaging - Look Out BelowGet a fish-eye’s view of what’s happening below your boat with Down Imaging. These incredible images are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in ultra-thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves produce a 'portrait.' As you patrol the water, you’ll watch timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure pop with stunning detail. (image displays MEGA Down Imaging) |
Built-In Basemap - Ready to fish, right out of the box
We’ve enhanced our standard Basemap to deliver more detail and a superior angling experience. The Humminbird Basemap is built into all SOLIX Series and GPS-equipped HELIX Series G2/G2N models. Based on freshwater data from LakeMaster and NOAA, the most-trusted saltwater source, these accurate maps provide you with a clear view of underwater terrain. Identify buoys, daymarkers, hazards, marinas and countless other navigation aids and points of interest with our comprehensive icon system. You’ll also see contours, depth markings and, for coastal areas, spot soundings. On the water, confidence is key. And the Humminbird Basemap delivers.
Autochart Live - Create your map-sterpiece (On select models)
Build richly detailed maps of your favorite fishing spots in real time with Humminbird AutoChart Live, available on the SOLIX Series and all GPS-equipped HELIX Series models. Map the water as you drive the boat, with eight hours of built-in recording time. Once your map is live, view it with vegetation, bottom hardness and depth contours to locate the best fish-holding areas. Also, use it with i-Pilot Link Follow and other patented Humminbird LakeMaster features. The future of digital charting has arrived. Better get on board.
Navigation - Built-In GPS
Get unparalleled GPS technology out of the box. Many Humminbird fishfinders have our powerful Precision GPS/WAAS receiver built right in and provides fast position fixes accurate within 2.5 meters. For those models without it, there are several options: Add the Humminbird Precision GPS/WAAS receiver for permanent GPS capability on your boat. Use Humminbird’s adapter and the NMEA output on your own handheld GPS unit, or use Humminbird’s InterLink to allow two fishfinders to access one GPS receiver.

Don't be afraid to purchase the humminbird cover for it as well. People said it doesn't fit very well over the unit, but it fit mine great and it should be a snug fit anyways especially if you trailer without a cover.
One thing I do wish it had however is backlit buttons for night time fishing. Makes things a bit easier to see but once you get used to it I suppose it's no big deal!

Now the reason I am only giving this a three star rating is because Humminbird could have made it a lot easier to get setup. The first project was installing it. It required a 5/8" hole to install a large transducer cable; Humminbird should know people do not like holes in their boat. The unit shipped with out of date software and the rules for updating it were somewhat nerve-racking, I did not want to brick my new Helix. I read it very carefully and I did my best to update it. BTW, the update file need to be in the root of the SD and not in a directory I was a little confused because unzipping them in a folder. Just and FYI no folder.
The next headache was the maps, they too needed to be updated, they are large files and the download did take a long time to complete .The base-map update had the same warning about bricking so again a little nerve-racking. After about 3 hours, I was ready to check out the new Helix, it was a lot like the G1, just a lot more work to get it setup. Humminbird could have shipped this software loaded and saved me hours of time. So, -1 star
Now, this next part is a common issue on both G1 and G2. The menus take a real effort to figure out, a lot of tap-tap-tap to set it up. First challenge was setting the clock, the thing has a GPS so you would think it would know the time, but no you need to set it if you are in a DST area. Sounds simple not really the programmers are trying to protect you from yourself, the changing to DST required advanced setting and it is not intuitive but again after another hour I got that corrected. I think these are simple software changes but if they made it perfect, there would be no reason for a G3.
Ok, one last word about the maps, I like the quality of Navionics even my small lake was well defined, including boat launch locations, a very complete map set. The Hummingbird base map had my lake on the GPS but its shoreline was not right and very little information. Larger lakes are ok I guess.
Just an FYI: I have two boats, a Bass Tracker pro team 175 TXW and a 20’ Regal open bow boat; I installed the G2 in the Regal with a flush mount, it was a clean install I removed the voltmeter and the depth meter making room for the Helix.
Ok, Humminbird holds back and wants to nickel and dime you to death, they sell a kit for flush mount and the only value might be the two-sided tape for the value it would have been nice to have it included. Therefore, there goes another star.
