    HELIX 9 SI GPS (Version 1.610)
    Release Date: 01/19/2018

    Description:
    NEW FEATURES
    Added a new Arrival Mode for i-Pilot Link - If an i-Pilot Link is paired to the Talon BT, all HELIX series units that are Ethernet capable will be able to select Auto Deploy Talon as an Arrival Mode
    FishSmart 2.0 Support – FishSmart has been improved with a new look, improved chart navigation, and a new feature:
    You can now pair your smartphone with your HELIX G2N unit to download software updates directly onto internal hard-drive of the paired unit’s control head. You can also download software updates for additional units (including original HELIX models) in your network by downloading files onto an SD card inside the paired unit. Once you have done that, you simply insert the SD card into your other unit(s) to update the software.
    General Fixes:
    Fixed an issue that caused HELIX units to lose MAP access after receiving a picture on an Android 6.0 device. Fixed an issue where HELIX SI units were getting a second return in the water column if Jigging Mode was ON. Fixed an issue where text messages where being cleared (marked as read) on the users phone after a HELIX control head received the message.

    Since I posted that, I was able to download the 1.620 update. I was still having the problem connecting to the fishsmart app and Humminbird emailed me v1.630, which fix my issues. MyHB acct shows 1.610 for helix 9 and 10 (both g1) and 1.630 for helix 7 g2n.

    You can now pair your smartphone with your HELIX G2N unit to download software updates directly onto internal hard-drive of the paired unit’s control head. You can also download software updates for additional units in your network by downloading files onto an SD card inside the paired unit. Once you have done that, you simply insert the SD card into your other unit(s) to update the software.

    With your phone paired to your HELIX, you can purchase and download high definition LakeMaster maps from ChartSelect directly onto an SD card inserted in control head.
    LakeMastermaps from ChartSelect can be purchased via the FishSmart app with or without a ChartSelect account, but we advise customers to sign up for a ChartSelect account and link it to your FishSmart app via the app’s System menu. LakeMaster maps on ChartSelect can be found at www.chartselect.humminbird.com.

    I have a 1198c unit that I do not believe has been updated in several years. What do I stand to gain in updating this unit? Also do I run the risk of hurting the unit in anyway? Currently this unit is very pixelated and I'm not sure if it is my lack of knowledge in setup or the need for update. Thanks in advance.

    I have a similar question to above. I have a helix 10 si gen 1, currently on 1.460. The updates look geared towards the new units. Any reason I should update?


    I don't have the ipilot or talons

    You don't get software in your My Humminbird account for newer units, you get software for your unit.

    I got a 1198c SI Combo when it first came out. It got 13 software updates.
    Each one either fixed a performance issue or added new features.

    If you have an 1198 you won't get an update for a Gen1 Helix, if you have a Helix MEGA G2N you won't get an update for a Solix and so on. An update for your unit that fixes an issue with an accessory you don't have may or may not be beneficial to you. The update may have some other fix which does make it worthwhile to you.

    I updated my Gen1 Helix 12 si software to this latest version 1.640 and noted one of the changes was this Sun & Moon information. Where does this appear and on which screen(s)? I believe I have searched through every screen/menu but can't find it.

    You only get to view that if you turn on the left side data boxes and choose one or two of the boxes for those readouts.
    Every view will have the data boxes on the left unless you turn on SI overlay and then you will just have the overlay readouts with full screen SI.
