Humminbird Helix 9 Chirp MEGA SI+ GPS G4N CHO

Description

The Humminbird 411380-1CHO Helix 9 Chirp MEGA SI+ GPS G4N CHO is a powerful fish finder with a 9" display. It features MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar, and internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap. This model offers a range of standard features, including AutoChart Live, Wi-Fi, NMEA 2000, Bluetooth, and Ethernet networking for compatibility with other Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon products.

The Control Head Only (CHO) model is designed for users who want to connect to Built-in MEGA Imaging on Minn Kota trolling motors, use accessory transducer options like MEGA 360 Imaging, or share sonar data from an existing Humminbird Ethernet network.

With MEGA Side Imaging+, you can view the underwater world with exceptional clarity. It provides crystal-clear side imaging out to 200 feet on either side of your boat, unlocking more fish and structures with 20% more detail and 60% more range capability than MEGA Side Imaging sonar.

MEGA Down Imaging+ offers unprecedented underwater clarity with coverage down to 200 feet below your boat. It provides 20% more detail and 60% more depth capability than MEGA Down Imaging sonar, allowing you to discover more fish and structures.

The Bluetooth feature allows you to take control of your Humminbird device wirelessly. You can communicate with compatible Talon and Raptor shallow water anchors and Cannon Optimum downriggers directly from the screen of your fish finder. It also enables wireless software updates from the Humminbird FishSmart App and displays smart phone notifications on your Humminbird device.

The NMEA 2000 networking built-in feature allows you to connect an accessory NMEA 2000 network to your control head. This provides you with more information, from boat performance to weather and water conditions, and helps you make sense of it all with NMEA 2000 networking.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions about the Humminbird 411380-1CHO Helix 9 Chirp MEGA SI+ GPS G4N CHO:
