    I would like to be able to set my default opening screen to something I use; not radar or something that most fishermen do not have.

    Have an option for the unit to boot up without a warning screen until reset to factory settings. Has anyone ever read that screen more than once?

    Bigger gauge wiring on power connector

    Ditch the cable collector concept on the Helix G2N for twist on locking connectors

    As another stated, losing screen to readouts in order to display time is disappointing to a tournament angler.

    We are now required to run/upgrade the power to these new units yet they come with the same old 16 gauge power cord

    How about putting Ethernet ports on all the units so we dont have to buy 7,000 cords and adapters. And maybe speed up the remote rebate. I think I have a better chance of seeing a bigfoot than getting that remote. Going on 4 months with everything being approved. Just waiting for them to ship it.. I 2nd the overlays for time. Why does the time have to be in the boxes instead of a overlay. It would save us some screen room.

    Whenever I mark a way point it automatically would save a snapshot of the side imaging/down imaging so I know what I marked as I go to new lakes and idle around marking stuff. Then go back a week later and try to remember what each waypoint is. One lake I have 250 waypoints on a 2500 acre lake.

    Make features like PC Live etc compatible with Apple/Mac/OS formats...PLEASE!

    Make all readouts available in boxes, available in overlay format.

    More radio buttons...six would be nice.
    Don't worry Ma'am....

    +1000 on rebate issue I will never again let a rebate promotion have any effect on my decision to purchase a product. Never had one go good always lost in mail, incomplete documentation what ever to just make you say it's not worth it and forget it.

    The Helix and number series already do that if you have that view displayed and take a snapshot with it turned on in the Accessory menu. When you get to the waypoint a thumbnail picture is displayed of the snapshot. That is why there are two files for each snapshot in the Snapshot folder.

    Adding time to the overlays, or even better give the ability to select what you want to overlay.

    Helix is a great unit but if asked, a couple features to make it even more robust :

    * Enhanced N2K communications for engines and or other common network devices

    * Ability to share heading sensor data over the network, ideally the Ultrex Bluetooth one. A very well installed sensor midship can then provide data to all units without worry of magnetic interference from say the trolling motor or big engine.

    And furthermore, since HB commends dedicated wiring straight to the batteries, they should offer power cables in 15 and 24 foot lengths. This would allow clean power runs to the bow and console without splices.

    I would gladly pay extra for these if they were made right!

    Short list:

    - separate computer from screen so when the technology changes, upgrades are cheaper. Also share the same compute capability across multiple screens. We don't need a computer at the bow and at the helm

    - modern waypoint management.

    - an app similar to Navionics for iPad/iPhone integrated to allow sync of waypoints

    - 360 version of panoptics

    - integration with a scale so fish data can be captured / stored with the waypoints

    - auto routing of course between 2 points (best route versus just a straight line)
