Humminbird Helix Side Imaging Settings & Images 

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ru-vid.comUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Thanks, Steve. I just set up my boat with a helix si GN4, mega 360, and terrova i-pilot link and I am having a hell of a time learning the helix. This is the best, most concise video I've seen thus far. Part of the reason I've been having some trouble is that when I'm on the water I'm concerned that i'm paying too much attention to the screen rather than driving the boat. Now that I realize I can use simulation mode, I can practice in my driveway. Thanks again, this was helpful.

Thank you for helping with the most misunderstood option on a fish finder. Great job

Thank goodness for your video as I have watched dozens and yours made the most sense. Thanks for the heads up!!!

Like always Steve very well done, great explanation of side imaging and settings to get the most out of your Hummingbird units 👏

Great video buddy it proves you can teach an old dog a new trick Thanks

By far the best explanation of this system. Thanks!

Thank you for your great info, never used simulation mode, I’m going in the garage to try 👍

Another great video!!! I’ve been taking physical notes. My boat is in the shop now getting my ultrex,mega live target lock and 10in helix head unit. And your really helping me out

Another great video, thanks!!

Great info Thanks Steve

That was excellent. Thank you.

Very educational and informative!

Thank you for the great video and I like your videos. May I know how to save setting? Each time when I switch from ice mode to open water mode, all the settings I did in openwater change to default settings, I have to push buttons to re-set.

Hey Steve great video... I have just got my helix 7 mega si, so appreciate your advice on settings.

Our helix 7, 2nd gen we believe worked well for a few months. Then it started showing water depth of 1k and we lost sonar etc, I have unplugged and replugged and also checked transducer mount. Unplugging and replugging seems to make it work for about 5 mins and then it goes back to that crazy stuff. Thoughts???

Steve, when you make changes in simulation mode do they then change automatically in normal mode? Or do you need to remember what you did and change them once your on the water?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Steve... Hope all is well... I am reviewing (again!) many of your videos... I am looking for your Mega Live video, with your recommended settings information... I am sure that I am overlooking it somehow, where can I find it...? As always, thanks for all you do, god bless you and your family, my friend...

Question? I've watched your video a few times and haven't seen how you get rid of the vertical grid line when on the SI. I don't like them.

Would a si transducer make it possible for my helix 7 di able to pickup si or would need a dif unit ?

Steve, how do you get the vertical measurement increments 20’ each? I have not seen those on my unit? Thanks

Can you create your own panes on helix 10?

Hi is there a difference between MSI on the Helix vs Solix as in depth or resolution

Steve I have a question not related to the video , but is still a hummingbird question ,how can I reach you I have a helix 9 mega Si/di and I have lost the water temperature off of my screen ,where can I go to get it back

I would like to see Side Imaging videos, but other than the demo, everyone plays that video, I want to see something recorded by you, let's see how it looks.

How did you get the white lines 20 40 60?

Could have been old creek channel or road bed.
