Sonar Humminbird Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA DI+ GPS G4N

Sonar Humminbird Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA DI+ GPS G4N

Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA DI+ GPS G4N is a state-of-the-art sonar featuring Dual Spectrum CHIRP technology, which facilitates improved differentiation between two targets, such as objects and fish. This way, the fish can be identified much better on the substrate. Side imaging and Down Imaging can now be viewed in maximum detail, as the resolution quality has improved dramatically. The presentation quality is nearly photorealistic, thanks to the high-resolution display. The SwitchFire and Time Variable Gain (TVG) functions ensure that the sizes of fish are displayed on the screen at different depths in predictable real sizes. With a little practice, the size of target fish should be approximately determined.

MEGA Down Imaging can provide photorealistic images in unparalleled quality. This is possible due to the high transmission frequencies, achievable with the new HDSI encoder. The resolution and clarity are three times greater than in classic DI, allowing the outlines and fins of fish to be recognized. The GPS G4N Helix MEGA DI+ sonar also features a true side and down signal, as well as SwitchFire in DI.

Equipped with a wideband 2D sonar, the sonar can capture super-clear and detailed images. Even a small school of fish can be individually separated, and a hidden predator can be identified in the image. The true wideband signal is fundamentally different in performance from the pseudo-signal of many other transducers. Most importantly, you can set the starting and ending frequencies of each signal.

Want to create your own map, no matter where you fish? With Humminbird's AutoChart Live feature, live mapping is possible not just with Garmin. It automatically determines the hardness and vegetation of the bottom and can cover it with freely selectable transparency via Navionics electronic nautical charts. All G4N Helix CHIRP MEGA DI+ sonars have this ingenious feature. You have up to 8 hours of recording available with the depth sounder - a sort of trial subscription. For larger recordings, you will need the additional Zero Line SD card, which extends the internal memory of the device for several years of navigation. Furthermore, the Zero Line SD card is also included in the two full versions of AutoChart PC and AutoChart PC Pro.

The sonar has an integrated Bluetooth interface. With this, the sonar is not remotely controllable (there is an optional RC-2 remote control), but you can pair your smartphone to view calls, text messages, signal strength, and battery status. This is useful if you want to protect your smartphone from water. An optional Bluetooth remote allows you to use your sonar from any angle of the boat. You can set waypoints, adjust sensitivity, or switch between preferred views at the push of a button. The remote is fully programmable - you can assign any function to any button: on or off, activate the 360 image transmitter, or save an i-Pilot LINK Spot-Lock anchoring function to keep the fishing boat in place regardless of weather conditions.

The Helix 8 CHIRP G4N series from Humminbird is networkable thanks to the integrated Ethernet system. This allows you to connect multiple devices in a network, share waypoints, and many other data. Via Ethernet, you can cleverly choose between different encoders - e.g., a Minn Kota US2 sonar or a Humminbird 360 imaging encoder, which will then be made available to all sonars in the network if you wish.

Humminbird Helix sonars are compatible with the Humminbird autopilot system. This takes control of the boat and keeps it on course even in wind and waves. You can take the shortest direct route to your destination and also set a special route, both configured in seconds. The autopilot system is not only convenient and safe, but it also helps save fuel.

The NMEA 2000 port enables the transfer of external data directly to the sonar. Such data can come from very different devices. For example, data from the boat's engine, such as tank capacity, fuel consumption, or current speed, or even weather data from external modules can be transmitted.
