HELIX 12 CHIRP MEGA MSI+ GPS G4N CHO
The HELIX 12 CHIRP MSI+ GPS G4N CHO features a 12.1" display, MEGA Side
Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar, and internal GPS with
Humminbird Basemap. As with all HELIX G4N models, this HELIX 12 includes
standard features such as AutoChart Live, Wi-Fi, and NMEA 2000®, in addition to
Bluetooth® and Ethernet networking for compatibility with the One-Boat Network™
family of products from Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon.
This CHO (Control Head Only) model allows users to pick the right accessory
transducer for almost any need, including compatibility with Minn Kota built-in
MEGA Imaging trolling motors.
Features
Control Head Only Model
This model does not include a transducer. This CHO model is a great choice for
those looking to connect to built-in MEGA Imaging on Minn Kota trolling motors,
accessory transducer options like MEGA 360 Imaging, or share sonar data from an
existing Humminbird Ethernet network.
Keypad Control
Master HELIX at the touch of a button. Access the preloaded views from the
user-friendly menu system, operated by soft-key controls that allow users to
reliably operate the fish finder in any conditions.
MEGA Side Imaging+
See the world below like never before with a crystal-clear side imaging view out
to 200 feet on either side of the boat. Users will unlock more fish and
structures with 20% more detail and 60% more range capability than MEGA Side
Imaging sonar.
MEGA Down Imaging+
Get unprecedented underwater clarity with Down Imaging coverage down to 200 feet
below the boat. Users will unlock more fish and structures with 20% more detail
and 60% more depth capability than MEGA Down Imaging sonar.
Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
Before users cast, know what's down there thanks to highly-detailed fish arches
and a clear view of the fish-holding structure and the bottom. Powered by
Humminbird's proprietary Low-Q CHIRP transducer, the Dual Spectrum offers two
ways to search: wide mode for maximum coverage and narrow mode for focusing on
the slightest detail.
Internal GPS and Humminbird Basemap
Humminbird's enhanced basemap provides users with a clear view of underwater
terrain and surrounding points of interest, so users can fish and navigate with
total confidence. Identify buoys, day markers, hazards, marinas, contours, depth
markers, and much, much more. Includes charts of more than 10,000 lakes, plus
coastal coverage for the continental U.S.
Premium Chart Compatible
Humminbird provides the most complete offering of premium chart options to
anglers everywhere. Get a complete view of the world below with optional charts
from Humminbird's LakeMaster® and CoastMaster™ products, as well as compatible
Navionics® charts.
AutoChart Live
Create real-time maps of the fishing spots with access to patented Humminbird®
LakeMaster® features. Map depth contours, bottom hardness, and vegetation as
users drive the boat. It comes standard with eight (8) hours of built-in
recording time and is compatible with AutoChart Zero Line SD cards for virtually
unlimited AutoChart Live mapping capacity.
One-Boat Network Compatible
Many Humminbird models seamlessly integrate and communicate with Minn Kota and
Cannon products to unlock more features and capabilities for anglers everywhere.
Users can take advantage of the time on the water by using the exclusive boat
control and fish-catching features of the One-Boat Network.
Ethernet Networking
High-speed Ethernet allows you to build a powerful, professional-grade fishing
system. Easily connect multiple fish finders, or upgrade to add-on technologies
like Minn Kota i-Pilot Link and Humminbird CHIRP Radar.
Bluetooth
Take control right from the screen of a Humminbird with wireless communication
to compatible Talon and Raptor shallow water anchors, as well as Cannon Optimum
downriggers. Additional features include wireless software updates from the
Humminbird FishSmart App and the display of smartphone notifications on the
Humminbird.
NMEA 2000 Networking Built-in
Connect an accessory NMEA 2000 network to a control head for even more
information; from boat performance to weather and water conditions, make sense
of it all with NMEA 2000 networking.
What is in the box
