Bigger is better when trying to decipher what your seeing.
Whether it’s worth it ,depends on your pocket book.

360 is much better with 12
12" screen at the console (3ft away from your face) may not be as advantageous as a 12" screen at the bow (upwards of 6ft away from your face) ...
One might consider where the unit will be mounted to help determine if the 12" is needed over the 10" ...

Very well said. I agree completely and I did go that route with my setup. I use the Helix 10 at my console and the Helix 12 at my bow and have been VERY happy with it. The 12 is awesome with 360 too!!Quote:

Not to complicate things but I believe you can buy the solix 10 for less than the helix 12. Gives you touch screen and ability to configure your own screens. I think the resolution is better also. But I don’t think it shares waypoints or mapping with any helix you may already have. Rickie please correct anything I may have wrong and give your opinion on this as your more knowledgeable than I am regarding this matter

I was lucky enough a couple of weeks ago to see both units on my boat. A friend brought down his Helix 12 mega. First we made multiple trips past a bush pile I had marked that was really loaded with fish. My 10" unit showed the fish really good on SI and DI. We then just switched out my 10 for his 12, WOW what a difference! All 3 views became clearer. I guess the 12" screen has a much higher resolution. I was really impressed, so much so that I went ahead and ordered a new Helix 12 Mega+ Gen3!!!!!
Hope in comes in soon.
Great deals right now, everybody is blowing out mega GN2,s and it’s what ever you can afford, I just moved my mega 9 si to the back and installed a new mega 10 DI and new 360 on Rickie’s Da Ducer up front then networked it all. Quite a expense and feel like It will work for me however this week, the 12,s are only 100 bucks or so more than the 10’s if you shop around. Shop for the deals!!! I am happy with my setup.
$$$$$ I wish I could afford a 10 or 12". Enjoy boys!
just what i wanted to hear i got the 12 helix si boat and unit should be here soon getting exitedQuote:
