I recently bought one and I love it. Got the Helix 5 Di Sonar/GPS combo. Screen's not as big as the high dollar models but it suits me just fine without getting the ole uni-brow look from my wife.Quote:

I have had my helix 5 fur about two months and am just starting to learn the settings to adjust it better. I am more impressed all the time,the detail is amazing it's hard to fish sometime for riding around looking at things.
I know they are a little expensive but I really like the hds Lowrance, but I've never used hummingbird to give you a comparison. I just started with Lowrance and stuck with them.
If you are close to Draffinville Ky go see Matt at Bass and Gas. He has very good deals on everything they can install if you want they will help you with upgrades and they have a great service department.
I have had both they are both good unitsQuote:
