Interesting, I recently purchased a SolixG3 the mega DI and SI is superior to anything else, I was gearing up to head the Garmin route for my FFS for the same reasons, I might hang off and wait for the real world testing. Great information bro 👍

Great update! I just read on another site announcement from Humminbird on Dec. 8th or 9th regarding new products and user interface update for Solix and Apex.

Going to keep using my helix units and my mega live for years to come

If there was more network compatibility between helix and xplore than what is expected that would be nice. Even an option to use a “black box” to have mega live work with helix units

That's a great idea, I'd love to see that!

Think I’ll be using Garmin on my next BassCat boat. Hummingbird just screwed over a lot guys that tournament fish and can’t afford to upgrade head units. That’ll cost thousands of $$$.

The Helix 12&15 is 1280x800 as well I believe

The new xpolre series will also have 15 different color palettes . 2 more than current version Helix. Detail from structure and fish is way better 80-100 ft vs the 40-60 that the current version ML1 had . New vp of Johnson Controlls was not going to release the new ML2 untill they had it perfect. The whole project was very detailed and product oriented in comparison to garmin lvs34 . Lots of other details that cant be disclosed right now but its very impressive and a way better product.

Seems odd that Humminbird would not at least advertise that Mega Live v2 is being released soon, before many people jump at Black Friday/ Holiday Garmin Livescope deals.
@dlpeckfishing5 күн бұрын
I totally agree, it does seem a little odd!

Seems they don’t want to push inventory of Helix before official news.

I wonder if Mega live Target lock will work with it?
@dlpeckfishing2 күн бұрын
I hope so, thanks for watching!
@RiversideMarineWA3 күн бұрын
So if XPLORER a touch screen, with similar look and feel of a Solix and same resolution - why keep the Solix too? Perhaps moving to a two model lineup? For the mega live pricing, can't get too much higher than the competitors when Humminbird has been #3 for so long. With target lock it may be a consideration, but they have alot of market penetration to make up.

Garmin already has lake maps whereas you do not have to buy maps and zero line cards
@dlpeckfishing20 сағат бұрын
Wow, that’s nice… thanks for sharing. I didn’t know that about Garmin. Maybe the XPLORE will have that option as well. I read somewhere in the video that it may have this ability as well.
@vhype23318 сағат бұрын
@dlpeckfishing I hope because you have to buy zero line cards to map lakes whereas they come on the Garmins. I wish they would point out advantages of very units
@kennylowe94043 күн бұрын
Just another reason not to buy HB! My previous boat had Garmin 12’s and my new boat came rigged with Helix 12’s. Who ever designed the Helix is that same little Brat that gets on the elevator and pushes ALL the buttons! That’s all you do with a helix is push buttons! Absolutely despise these Helix units! #IMISSMYGARMINS!
