The big ticket item though is maps.

Great video, just ordered this exact unit. Can't wait to install and hit he water. Did a lot of comparing different brands and the Birds offer the most features for the price, love the intuitive system and key layout
Without you having the 360 sonar, those areas would be hard also. Your mentioned retract mode. That's when your running the pod system mounted to a bracket on the transom. I believe another area was talking about looking left or right. You can set the limits on what you wish to scan as well. I'm looking at the helix to take over my core units. Right now I'm running the 1198 SI at the bow and 988 SI at the console networked of course. Good video over all (thumbs up).
Good video. The contour mode under si is to take off tl what's below the boat and connect the side imaging together. This helps you see a road bed fully connected.
Thanks for great video . Can you please give me advice i am between axiom pro 9 inch raymarine, lowrance hds 9 carbon and humminbird helix 10 g2n or solix 10.Can you please give me advice what is the best options i will use it on the sea.
Depth setting on SI should be much more than depth of water plus 10 feet, since most of your screen will be taken up for the water column below the boat. One video recommended 3 times the depth for scan distance on each side.
I got the Helix Mega Si G2N and had to order the cord to use the NMEA 0183. The cord doesn't come with the unit any more. I just have to plug it in and connect to my NMEA 0183 devices. I'm using a Noland Expander XP 15. Boosts the signal and R232 for my Garmin TR-1 Auto Pilot. Marine Radio doesn't need the expander but I can share the signal with other devices from the Noland Expander.
Moto_ bro_24 I believe the helix 10 comes with the upgraded transducer and we’ll as it fills out the screen better. With the helix 9 there is a black border around the screen but with the 10 the border is almost not there. You can get upgraded transducer with helix 9 but you have to mail in your old one and pay 100 something dollar to get it.

You covered the exact features I would use on Lake of the Woods - so very much appreciated!
Appreciate you taking all the time to do this video very helpful man!!

Thanks, good overview.
Excellent vid. Thank you!

Nice Job on video....very informative
Awesome video! Thanks
Awesome unit! Looking at the same one myself. Are you mounting it in a bow mount motor? If so what bracket are you using for mounting? Tight lines!
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*

Great vid. What are you doing for higher boat speed depth reading?

"Here is a quick video"
Very helpful video
How i can return from my garage in winter to a lake i chart with AutoChart Live this summer ?

Does the unit support NMEA 0183? My marine radio and auto pilot use the NMEA 0183.

What made you pick this instead of the 9 I'm not sure what to do the helix 9 mega is 400$ less than the helix 10
Moto_ bro_24 I believe the helix 10 comes with the upgraded transducer and we’ll as it fills out the screen better. With the helix 9 there is a black border around the screen but with the 10 the border is almost not there.

How did you turn on your unit? It looks like you are inside your home.
