Title: Need a HB with dedicated down imaging ducer
Post by: JoeyWelch on November 03, 2015, 12:57:59 PM

I need a new machine for my bow. I want another Bird but I want one with true down imaging. I am running a 899 si unit now and the down imaging is just not that good. Which of the 2015 released units has real Down Imaging? Can anyone help me? Thanks

Thanks Rickie. I think the Helix 10 DI GPS is going to be my next one. Just waiting to see a few screen shots.

I dunno Rickie. I may as well get the Onix 10 and be done with it. I'll just put my 899 on the bow.

Maybe around Christmas time.

Good choice ...

Just note that the ONIX and core series will only share waypoints when networking ...

The Onix will also share the 360 when networked to a core unit.
