Does anyone know what recording views are assigned to each "B" file?  In other words which view is assigned to B000, B001, B002, B003, and B004?

Thanks, Bayou Basser

Ricki thanks for the response now all I need to do is pull the plug on the new one.
Do you have a sales pitch for me? I’m easily persuaded if the technology of the Helix G4 far far far exceeds the old 1199 si.

1. No  ... HELIX 12 CHIRP MSI+ G4N uses HW CHIRP low Q 2d and your current in hull transducer is 83/200kHz 2d  ... you will need the XP 9 HW in hull transducer  ... https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/shop/accessories/transducers/xp-9-hw-helix-dual-spectrum-chirp-hull-transducer

2. Yes  ...

3. No  ... AS SIDBY Cable is not compatible with HELIX G3N or G4N units  ... you will need the 9 M SIDB Y cable which also has a dedicated DI circuit  ... https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/shop/accessories/cables/9-m-sidb-y-helix-side-imaging-2d-sonar-splitter-cable

I’m moving on from my 1199 to a new helix 12 si G4 and I have a few questions on compatibility.
1. Is the in hull transducer I have installed XP9 20 t compatible or is there a better transducer?
2. Will my Navionics card and my SD stored waypoints card plug in without issues?
3. Is the Y cable I have installed for the 1199 be compatibleP?

Update: Today I received an email indicating that my two Helix G4N had a new software update available. After loading the update then viewing data boxes in the engine data screen, then select ENGINE, engine hours is now available as an option.
Thank you Humminbird,

HELIX G3N and G4N will share everything except mapping data  ... you would need 2 mapping cards if you want more than the basemap in one unit  ...

I plan to upgrade Helix units. Going to buy a new 10 or 12 G4N for the bow and a 9 for the console.
My question is, if I bought a used G3N for one of them, are there any issues or problems with networking them after the software upgrade?
Obviously I would like to save some $ if possible.

Thanks
