Humminbird 410420-1 Solix 15 Chirp Mega Si GPS Fishing Charts & Maps

Good unit. Gets lost with small amount of debris in water, but all in all happy
Decent depth finder for the money, I'm able to find brush piles with this unit.
Side imaging at this price is amazing, while you can't see as clear as the marketing pics show, once you figure out dialing in the settings.
Accurate depth readings while trolling around and with motor running.

Humminbird Helix 10 (409990-1) SI Sonar with GPS

The technology is amazing. Love the giant screen. I replaced a 597di and the clarity is night and day in di.
It's the bomb! It works very well and can see a lot that I never could before!! Would definitely recommend!
I was really excited to use this unit when I bought it. So far, it has been a huge disappointment . I mostly jig or troll for large lake trout. I need to use the zoom on the sonar and the chart at the same time... You can't with this unit.
At 30 mph in shalllow water when you need the depth sounder the most it jumps from the propper depth to 100 feet then back. SI is a joke.
The mapping must be taken from Cortez when he was looking for elderado. It shows me on land in narrow water ways.

The screen is much sharper than the 1199 (more pixels). Side Imaging looks really great, especially on 800kHz with some of the new color palettes.
As for the keypad, the buttons have a less rubbery feel, so it did take a little getting used to.
I also have a Helix 10 DI at the bow to use with the 360 imaging...awesome setup for bass fishing.
The menu and setting are intuitive and beg to be tinkered with with is good because it is necessary. feel I waste a lot let time fishing dock there are no fish under thanks to the si.
The zoom is a separate page and anything zoomed in over 2X is really blocky. It does not pick up the jig or downrigger balls.

What customers say about "Features"

Humminbird 410420-1 Solix 15 Chirp Mega Si GPS Fishing Charts & Maps

GPS is great for speed, tracking and marking spots.
It does much more but I mainly use it for depths, water temps and bottom graphics.
Easy to wire and mount, comes with all the required hardware.
The GPS, side imagining, size, and price all contributed to me purchasing the combo.

Humminbird Helix 10 (409990-1) SI Sonar with GPS

AutoChart Live is awesome. Just turn it on in the map menu and you are instantly creating a custom map, much easier than the PC program.
The unit cover is heavy duty, seems to hug the unit very well. Hasn't flown off while trailering like the plastics ones could.
It is great. Have to know what your doing upon installation. But read the directions and there should not be any problems. Also, most may not be updating the software which I found fixes any bugs that I did find.
