Humminbird and the Helix 5 continue to give more anglers state-of-the-art capabilities. You can start making your sonar recordings as soon as you hit the water, then convert them into your custom LakeMaster maps once you get the AutoChart software.The second generation of the wildly successful Helix 5 Sonar, the Humminbird Helix 5 G2 Sonar offers access to Humminbird’s flagship technologies, like CHIRP, AutoChart Live, and SmartStrike – all at a compelling price point. The Helix 5 Sonar GPS is AutoChart capable right out of the box. This unit is shipped with the standard XNT 9 20 T transducer, for 83 and 200kHz sonar frequencies. The wide screen display will look great with a sonar/map split screen. The Helix 5 Sonar GPS is a great sonar GPS combo option. Also available in a DI only unit - Helix 5 DI Helix 5 Sonar GPS This compact powerhouse GPS/depth finder combo is perfect for kayak fishing. Most people will be best served setting it to Medium or Wide. The Down Imaging coverages are at the normal 16, 28, 45, and 75 degrees for narrow, medium, and wide coverage. This is a dedicated Down Imaging transducer, not a blended side imaging picture. The unit will ship with the standard Down Imaging transducer (XNT 9 DI T) that operates at 455/800kHz and 200/455kHz frequencies. If you like to fish structure like points, bars, and ledges, the down imaging is a super useful tool. You will see brush, rock, and fish with clarity that isn't found on standard sonar signals. The DI pictures really pop with detail on this new display. The Helix 5 DI GPS is just like the SI version, but with only DI and 2D sonar capabilities. All of the Helix 5 family with GPS will be compatible with Navionics Goldand HotMaps.Īlso available in a KVD SI version - Helix 5 SI GPS KVD Helix 5 DI GPS Helix 5 SI GPS will work with LakeMaster mapping cards, and will be compatible with AutoChart and AutoChart Pro self-mapping software. We can only assume the 800khz was left out for cost reasons at this point. The unit will support only 455kHz Side and Down Imaging. The Helix 5 SI GPS ships with the Compact SI transducer (XNT 9 SI 180 T), the same transducer as on the 899ci SI. The unit comes with the Compact SI transducer, but for a minimal fee you can trade it in to Humminbird for the High Definition Transducer. The SI images really are fantastic for such an affordable fish finder. This model has all of the high end imaging capabilities of the bigger units like GPS mapping, Side Imaging, Down Imaging, and DualBeam Plus 2D sonar. The SI GPS model is the flagship unit of the Helix 5 series. You can really see how bright and sharp the display is on these units, especially on the side and down imaging views. The video below is an on the water demonstration of the Helix 5 SI GPS. The single MicroSD card slot is located on the left side of the fish finder.
