| Just purchased a helix 7 DI, no ethernet port. I searched online and couldnt find an adapter. So the question is... is there an adapter out there or am i screwed due to lack of research before my purchase? |

| I researched the same issue, and I think the only Helix 7s that have networking are the new ones with "G2N" in the name. I just bought a Helix 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2N, which does have networking, which is one of the main reasons why I chose it.
When you go to their site, you can search all fishfinders for type and capability, and if you chose "Helix 7" and "networking" you get these results:

And I don't believe there's an adapter you can get to add networking, either.

Location: MN | Helix G2N models (7 / 9 / 10 /12) and Helix generation 1 models (9 / 10 /12) network. It is not an option to add networking to a non-networking unit. When connecting Helix units to a network or Ethernet accessory, you will need (1) AS EC QDE #720074-1 to connect to each Helix unit.
Networks of more than two units or Ethernet accessories (360, i-pilot link) can but made using multiple Ethernet cables run into a central hub unit, AS ETH 5PXG, #408450-1 and an appropriate length Ethernet cable and AS EC QDE run to each HB unit.
