Is the Solix G3 worth it over a Helix?

Yes if you want the largest screen, dual-core speed and full networking. A Helix costs less and covers basic sonar and charts for casual use.

Does it come with a transducer?

Yes, a CHIRP transducer is included. MEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+ need a compatible MEGA transducer to reach full detail.

How deep can it read?

Down Imaging is rated to about 400 feet at 455 kHz, and imaging depth is listed up to 250 feet. Actual depth depends on water conditions and transducer.

Can I link two Solix units together?

Yes. Full Ethernet networking lets units share sonar, charts and waypoints across the boat.

Does it work with MEGA 360 Imaging?

Yes, the Solix G3 is compatible with Humminbird MEGA 360 Imaging for a live panoramic view around the boat.

How much mapping can it store?

AutoChart Live records up to eight hours of built-in depth, vegetation and hardness mapping before you need to offload it.
