Title: New Helix 7 SI GPS -- Little Help
Post by: Andy fish on September 17, 2017, 11:30:05 PM
So I tried out my Helix 7 using the regular compact SI which did not show much on the side imaging.   What do you all think?   Any help will be most appreciated. 

Andy.

It's difficult to analyze phone pix of the screen with all the glare  ...

Can you please post screenshots captured from the unit to a SD card and then upload those to the forum  ...??

Insert a blank SD card into the unit -

Press and hold the Mark button for 3 seconds until you see a popup box that says "PNGXXX successful"  ...

Snapshots are written directly to the SD, can be viewed on the unit in the "Snapshots and Recording" view (as long as the SD card is still in the unit)  ...

Or  ...:

Upload the images from the SD card to your PC and attach them to your post using the same procedure you used to post those phone pix  ...

I have this same setup.  What were you expecting to see? What is under the water there?
