Does anyone know if the purchases have to all be done at once? Meaning can I buy a unit from Store X and then a Transducer from Story Y that total add up to over $2,500 ? I cant find much in the...

Back from trip now. 2nd Lake was slightly better but still obvious they have not come up from deep summer holes for fall feed yet. Can't believe water temps were 65 up there.

I was definitely...

Yeah first two days have been really bad going to try a different lake tomorrow and maybe this cold front will turn them on (have I ever said that?)

Headed up north next week for Smallmouth trip. Wondering if this unusually warm weather has slowed things down? Any reports or past experience with this?

Thanks

Great time to consider upgrading the the HD Transducer, wish I had know about the exchange option before I opened mine.

Is this from Autochart Live?

Helix / Base format has been a part of his system for years and he is obsessed with being efficient. Zona has expressed similar remarks and specifically mentioned the simple buttons and lack of...

There needs to be a better way to see which lakes have data. You have to zoom in close to every lake manually to check.

Just quickly checking it out.

Don't see a quick way to find out which lakes actually have data yet. Have to manually zoom in to everything to see if something shows up.

Did they show up on 2D or were you not on top of them enough?

Thanks for sharing but I have to ask why the heck did you take a screen shot of the images in Windows Photo Viewer? Why would you not just post the jpg files directly?

Is your unit SI or just DI?

I have the SI and prefer that view + 2D over DI.

I usually have the Sensitivity at 12 and contrast at 8-10.

Yeah I need to do the coin trick to fix my transducer angle and maybe get the HD Transducer.

At best they do.

I have the 7 SI (Gen 1) and can say these are outstanding quality for this unit with stock transducer.

Now if only the unit displayed as well as Humviewer...

I seriously pay little attention to...

I have the Helix 7 SI GPS and live in Michigan. I went with the Lakemaster mapping card. I already had the Navionics App on my phone (And it is free with the online viewer) and Lakemaster has some...

I thought SI was not as effective in deep open water?

What program are you viewing that .DAT file in?

On my Helix 7 this is controlled by the "Depth Colors" setting. Which is a number from 0 to 9 (I think). A lower value (1 or 2) is needed for good shading of deeper water.

Agreed. Lakemaster. You can view navionics maps online / on your phone.

My recording shows a huge school of fish on the end of a point on side imaging. Right side, on the upward slope / end of the point.
2D (83 khz in this screen shot) only shows a few fish.

Is this...

Yes, you can. Here is a simple guide for that: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2IE_4njdjrPc1hlMFdMMkMzRFU/view

Also been wondering this. I have seen some screen shots comparing the two before but not from a Helix 7. I have been dissappointed with Helix 7 display clarity. My SI recordings look so much better...

Here are some fome one of my first times out with it. Did not have settings figured out yet:...
