    Yes it and the 1198. 898 and below came with compact. 999 and 1199 have the HD transducer 899 and below compact.

    Not sure on the screen clarity but I have 998 Helix 9 and 10. BUT I use Navionics maps. cost more but I am much happier with the map quality.

    If anyone is interested in the Gen 3 HB Helix units or transducers, give Brian at BBG Marine
    a call or send him a PM for prices. I've bought from him before and his prices are much
    better than the so-called Humminbird Factory Outlet. Brian is also a member sponsor and
    you'll get a lot more information from him than anyone else in the business.
