In my opinion, if the transducer does not change, then replacing it with a new one does not make much sense. And Solix's existing navigation problems will be removed in the next firmware ... maybe. :))

Be curious to know if the Live Mega is a vertical or horizontal cone or both.
Faster processor on the Solix G3 may mean a faster boot time, definitely will mean faster page navigation. Hopefully they have all the software bugs worked out with them as well.

Will the new live that is coming out work with the Solix Gen2 ??? I know you said it would with the Helix G3 but no mention of the solix,,,,
I think the faster Solix is pretty big news. I've always loved them, but was hesitant because of what people say about processor speed. Now I have no hesitation. There will be at least one on my next boat. Plus, the live stuff is very interesting too.
When will these be available? October when the Helixes come out. Look forward to seeing them.
Thanks for the info.

Tomorrow is October 1st....
I don't see any live imaging prducts.
^^ huh... that was my thought as well - not even in the capability map for each unit... My Solix "G1" is humming along. If they are not introducing something meaningful... why on earth waste a generation of product? People will buy it, and see that it is not that different, be little peeved, and Garmin will own the the market on the next product cycle. (ok, exaggeration, but it makes me have my doubts about sticking with Birds...) I have 3 Helix units and a Solix across 2 boats. We'll see how this progresses - definitely food for thought.

There is no HOOPLA announcement on the Humminbird home page about NEW products but they are now listing SOLIX G3 and HELIX G4N on the screen. I did not see any special announcements touting new features for any of the G3 or G4N products.
