Thread: Stuff is a comin ...

Looking forward to seeing more information and pictures. I LOVE my Helix Mega, interested to see what other companies do to compete. As stated, interesting times.

I love my Mega units, but will say that does look pretty cool. When I had gen3 units, they had a "structure overlay" (I think it was called) where you could kinda combine down imaging and sonar returns. I never found it useful, and most others didn't either. But it kinda looks like they doing a sort of "chirp/fish overlay" with it now. That would be much more useful especially for fish hugging the bottom. It will be neat to see how well this works. They have had a few "game changers" that looked real good on their marketing screen shots that just didn't pan out. I have no plans to change, but new ideas and the competition will be good for everyone... no mater the brand.

I suppose thier saving the fish reveal for side scan for the Carbon 2 for the next "Game Changer" these company's are really good at keeping us fisher people hooked.lol

well they used to be, but for me they've totally gotten out of any of my price ranges

Pretty soon you will be able to find the fish and using your touch screen just touch it and it will jump in the boat!!

Kind of funny in a sad way, how this is just software. The head units shouldn't cost much to make in relation to the MSRP. I wonder how much this software development cost them.

Good “Code Toads” don’t come cheap.

Almost looks like they integrated some of the chirp 2D into a down scan image. One of the things about DI is that the fish often look like small dots.

If you look at some of the images with 2D side by side with the fish reveal .... the fish look almost identical on the reveal as they do on the 2D....but with the greater detail of the structure you get with DI.
