Posts: 546 Location: MN | Humminbird introduced a new series of touch screen units called Solix. The units come in 12" and 15" sizes and are packed with all of their newest innovations. From Humminbird: Humminbird SOLIX Series combines 12" and 15" displays with Cross Touch® Interface alongside groundbreaking innovations like MEGA Imaging™, CHIRP Digital Sonar, AUTOCHART® Live with vegetation and bottom hardness mapping, Bluetooth® connectivity and i-Pilot® Link™ navigation. Unprecedented Screen Innovation SOLIX is setting the bar for the angling sonar category in display size with two variations - a 12- and 15-inch screen model. Both come standard with Humminbird's Cross Touch® Interface, letting anglers operate the unit via touchscreen or keypad, all while customizing the screen with up to four independent viewing panes. Never-before-seen Image Clarity SOLIX units come in two versions. One is equipped with GPS and CHIRP Digital Sonar, the other adds Humminbird's game-changing MEGA Imaging. This is the first Down and Side Imaging technology to enter the megahertz range with performance that's nearly three times greater than traditional 455 kHz frequencies. It results in the clearest, sharpest imaging returns ever. When asked to explain MEGA Imaging, Humminbird's brand manager Ray Schaffart said, "The screen detail is so defined that that in some cases you can literally see each individual fish and make out their head or tail in the sonar shadow. Natural bottom structures like rocks and stumps almost look like photographs, while man-made structures like shipwrecks, road grades or sunken bridges, offer up imagery down to the individual beam. After people see it, they just can't believe it." The Next Generation in Mapping Also standard on all SOLIX models is Humminbird's expanded AUTOCHART® Live technology that creates and saves structure maps on any body of water. AUTOCHART Live identifies and maps depth, bottom hardness and vegetation. Anglers know that fish relate to depth, weed lines and transition points in bottom type - for example where a soft, muddy bottom transitions to firm sand or rock. By collecting all that data on an AUTOCHART Live map, Humminbird helps anglers keep their boat in the strike zone on productive structure. Fishing takes another huge step forward when AUTOCHART Live is used in conjunction with i-Pilot® Link™ from Minn Kota®. With both technologies cooperating, an angler can tell his Minn Kota trolling motor to "follow" a specific AUTCHART Live contour at a set speed, and with the press of a button the boat will precisely follow the exact path. Now, anglers no longer need to guess where fish-holding structure is located. They can precisely follow the weedline, bottom hardness or depth contour, and stay within easy casting distance of their target. Unsurpassed Connectivity Bluetooth is built into every unit, allowing anglers to sync smartphones to the on-board SOLIX. Text messages, missed calls, signal strength and other notifications appear right on the Humminbird display, so phones can stay safely in pockets where they belong for hands-free fishing. It creates a flawless on-board network of electronics and connectivity. For plug-and-fish networking, high-speed ethernet provides easy connectivity to Humminbird 360 Imaging, Minn Kota i-Pilot Link, Humminbird CHIRP Radar, and additional SOLIX or select HELIX units. The new units are fully compatible with Humminbird LakeMaster® charts, SmartStrike™ and Navionics® Gold/HotMaps™.

Location: Contrarian Island | what I don't understand is you can get a top of the line computer for well under what some of the new units are going for with more power, more memory, more technology but prices of these big screens keep going up and up and up...3500 for a unit? most technology comes down in price....not for Humminbirds and Lowrance tho I guess  | ||
