Itis Humminbird's new Helix G2 and GN2 units with the 2d, si, and di CHIRPed. The clarity and image are stunning. It gives excellent target separation of fish and structure.

Cool!, I bet they are a pretty penny too!, but it's another tool in the arsenal, thanks!

I googled some screen shots of that unit....pretty impressive.
My question is, if you buy the unit for $1500-$2k....do you get the BEST transducer with it, or do you need to spend another $400-$600 on the fancy transducer upgrade to get them good images?

It comes with a new style transducer. It has a di transducer built in....unlike the old model that used composite di from the 2 si piezo. Transducer is much bigger than the old HD one. So yes you get the best transducer in the box.

That $1500-2k is on the light side. Lowrance HDS carbon series is their answer to the mega and they start at $2200 and up!! Garmin has had CHIRPed si, di for a while now and it's always impressed me. But we all know that don't take much!!! 😂
