    Software Update - HELIX 10 CHIRP MEGA DI+ GPS G3N v. 2.110
    Released 08-14-2019

    Software Description

    New Features:

    • LiveShare ZeroLine Support (GPS Models Only) - Multiple shoreline sources can now be individually selected in the AutoChart Live menu for use with AutoChart Live data including: “AutoChart PC” shorelines, new and improved AutoChart “LiveShare” shorelines, or “Zero Line SD Card” shorelines. Choose the one that works best for your lake or let the system automatically select based on the data that is available on-screen.
    • Imaging Water Column Sensitivity (Imaging Models Only) – SwitchFire on Side Imaging and Down Imaging has been changed to Water Column Sensitivity. This feature allows the user to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the sonar return that is in the water column. Once this is done, the user can adjust the sensitivity of the entire sonar return with the Sensitivity menu setting.
    • Imaging Contrast Improvements (Imaging Models Only) – Updated the contrast table for Side Imaging and Down Imaging Contrast
    • Ice Mode on HELIX 8, 9, and 10 Models – Humminbird Ice Mode is now available on HELIX 8, 9, and 10 G2N/G3N models.
    • Dynamic Imaging Contrast (Imaging Models Only) – Automatically enhances the contrast of the selected Side Imaging or Down Imaging color palette.



    General Fixes:
    SONAR:

    • Fixed a sonar noise issue at 30 FT deep.
    • Fixed a CHIRP frequency range issue at 130 kHz.
    • Fixed an issue where DI Contrast was not functional on 455 and 800 kHz on G3/G3N models and 455/800/MEGA on G2/G2N models.

    360 IMAGING:

    • Fixed an issue where deploying the transom mount 360 Imaging would cause 2D, DI, and SI to stop scrolling until the unit was rebooted.
    • Fixed an issue with the sonar cursor on 2D, DI, and SI panes that was being caused by 360 Imaging.

    i-PILOT LINK:

    • Fixed an issue where Follow-the-Contour would not populate on AutoChart Live data that was being displayed on top of the Humminbird Basemap.

    CHART:

    • Fixed an issue where heading data from the AS GPS HS would not display in a heading databox.

    SYSTEM:

    • Fixed an issue where putting a networked unit into Ice Mode would leave the unit is an invalid Open Water Mode / Ice Mode state.
    • Fixed several Bluetooth device pairing issues.

    Mega 360 support? Is that all that's included in v2.18 for the Helix 10 SI Gen 2 units? Nothing else like support for HW like the units sold recently at BPS/Cabelas?

    Yes the HW promotional model from BPS is listed Jim. I just looked at the update list and the HW has it’s own download.
    I understand that if you attempt to update with wrong update on SD card unit won’t recognize the update.

    I saw that HB is now treating the HW (BPS) G2N as a model separate from the other G2N models. I was hoping HB would give the many, many G2N users the same upgrade they gave the BPS G2N users when the got the HW upgrade over the holidays. Why come out with a separate model unit (BPS) when all that was (apparently) necessary was to upgrade the existing G2N models to make them compatible overall with the HW transducers?

    yea, kinda confusing as soon as I got home I noticed the model number was strange. Read several post from others as confused as me. After I read all I could find, even that the comes with xdcr would not be available I called HB.
    Was told these units were built exclusively for BPS/Cabelas. There not left over Gen 2 units. Mine was built September 10, 2019 so I have a new discontinued Gen 2. HW.
    They told me the xdcr would be available in case of failure during warranty and for purchase out of warranty. Only catch is will not be a vendor item, must purchase directly from HB. Also xdcr could not be used with any other unit. The unit will work with the original Gen2 xdcr but you will loose HW Low Q.
    For the price I’m going to hold on to it and hope for the best. Not been able to install yet.
    I guess you could say it’s improvement over original Gen2 but not a Gen3.

    I have all the released software versions for the first generation SOLIX 12 SI and 3.350 is not one of them.

    Each version has some changes with either fixes, additions, or both. There are several between 3.040 and 3.640

    So report if that version fixed any issues you had.

    So with the v2.18 and Helix G2 Mega Di. From what I`m reading you can run Mega 360 on the G2 units now as long as they have Mega? Also Is it possible to direct connect Mega 360 to a Mega Gen2 unit and use it as a dedicated Mega 360 unit? Or does it have to go through ethernet?

    No, you can DISPLAY MEGA 360 from a G3N SI+ or G3N DI+ connected MEGA 360.

    This is what the software description states:
    All HELIX G2N and G3N units can subscribe to MEGA 360 over Ethernet from the MEGA Imaging+ model where MEGA 360 is directly connected.

    I have a Helix 9 G2N Sonar/GPS only. No other units on boat except LiveScope. Have SW version 2.11 on it now. Do I need to download SW 2.18 since I have no other Mega Units at all?

    If your unit is not MEGA SI or MEGA DI Imaging, you don't have a MEGA unit so there is no "no other MEGA units".

    There may be some part of the update that you can benefit from.
