Location: MN | Baseline suggestion:
Console: mapping, traditional sonar, side & down imaging, networking
Bow: mapping, traditional, networking
Mapping is a must on both. Side imaging is a must on the console unit. Networking allows you to share waypoints and sonar. When you mark a spot on either unit, it shows up everywhere, and you can view side imaging up front or the trolling motor transducer in the rear. Before pulling the trigger, check networking compatibility between units; sometimes its not super clear what exactly can be shared.
The baseline HB setup that gives you the above feature set is a HELIX 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2N unit on the console and HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS G2N on the bow. Compared to that, you can spend more to get
- larger screen / resolution
- more detailed side imaging (MEGA)
IMO, if you are considering leaving off features from the first list to cut down the cost, you're better off getting a single unit at the console and just turning it around to view when you're up front. | |
