    Default Helix


    Am I missing something, or can you not save screenshots while having a mapping card in place?

    That's right! These are low cost units. Many features were cut to reach that price point. One was the extra card slot.

    It's one of the same cost saving features as the 398, 598, and 698 series Combo units ...

    (And no preset buttons)...

    How do you like the Helix so far? I just picked up a DI/GPS from Bass Pro today. Couldn't beat it for 308 out the door

    I have the same unit. Just tried it out today and like it just fine. I just have to figure out how to adjust it for my needs. I also have to get a card.

    Im interested in getting a few of the helix units as well. Does anyone know if these units are compatible with the Navionics plus cards? They are the ones where you can download the lakes that you go to. Im very interested in the plus card because I fish a lot in Alabama and Kentucky, Alabama being in the south region and Kentucky in the east region. This card would keep me from having to buy the East and South cards and just load the lakes that I fish onto one card. Thanks

    Screenshots can be saved directly to an installed SD Card (micro SD Card in the Helix)...
