    Do the Helix units accept gpx files?

    No, not directly.

    To get GPX files to load, you load them to HumminbirdPC which creates a GPX file.
    Then you put a memory card in the computer and use the card symbol to copy that file to the card using the arrows under the card symbol.
    That puts a MATRIX folder on the card with the GPS data in it. That is how the data is loaded to the Helix or number series unit.
