Humminbird HELIX 5 Fish Finder CHIRP DI GPS G3

Overview

Who This Is For: Serious recreational anglers fishing lakes and coastal waters who want a compact, affordable dual-sonar fish finder with GPS mapping built in. If you're running a smaller center console or open boat and need proven structure-finding capability without sacrificing screen real estate or breaking the bank, this is your unit.

Product Summary: The HELIX 5 CHIRP DI GPS G3 pairs dual-spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar with CHIRP Down Imaging in a 5-inch widescreen display, so you see fish arches, bottom hardness, and underwater structure in one glance. Add internal GPS, Humminbird's base map covering 10,000+ lakes and U.S. coastal areas, and AutoChart Live mapping capability — meaning you can literally create your own contour maps as you drive — and you've got a complete sonar-and-navigation package that performs on the water without the complexity of a larger networked system.

Key Features

• Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D Sonar — transmits across two frequency bands (83/200 kHz) with switchable Wide Mode (broader coverage) and Narrow Mode (detail-focused) — lets you cover water fast in Wide Mode, then zoom in on subtle structure and suspended fish when you spot something.
• CHIRP Down Imaging — filters sonar noise and clutter to produce high-definition images of bottom composition and structure directly below your boat — you'll distinguish a hard bottom from mud, and spot vegetation and structure that other sonar types miss.
• Internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap — preloaded charts of 10,000+ lakes, plus U.S. coastal coverage, showing depth contours, bottom type, buoys, day markers, hazards, and marina locations — you navigate and fish with confidence, and rarely need to buy additional charts unless you fish new regions.
• AutoChart Live — maps depth contours, bottom hardness, and vegetation in real time as you drive your boat, with 8 hours of recording built in — build personal maps of your best spots without relying on generic data, and export endless mapping onto optional SD cards.
• Premium Chart Compatibility — supports Humminbird LakeMaster and CoastMaster, plus Navionics charts if you want granular detail in specific fisheries — pick the chart library that matches your home waters and tournaments.
• Keypad Control — softkey menu system operates reliably in any weather and sea state — no touchscreen to fail or get wet, just straightforward button access to pre-loaded sonar views and settings.
• Sonar Depth Range — standard transom transducer reaches 1,200 feet; optional 50 kHz transducer extends range to 3,000 feet for offshore work or deep clear lakes — choose your transducer based on your typical fishing depth.
