Great Combo Fishfinder!
This Humminbird meets all of my expectations. The price was great. The functions are great. The ease of operation is great.

Works very well. Would have appreciated an operators manual I could take out on the water.

Great product for the price
The navigation on this is so helpful. We have been on a few lakes that we don't know to well after dark and being able to mark where we put in and navigate back using this helps so much! So far I have no complaints about this. Detects fish good and is pretty easy to use once you play around on it for a while.

Good Solid Product--But not what I expected.
As anyone shopping the Humminbird Helix 5 line of products has probably discovered; you really need to do your homework to figure out exactly what each model is and what it does. The Humminbird website does little to clarify the differences between the many products in the Helix line. Nor do they fully explain upgrade capablitly--or even what comes in the box.Since I was looking mainly at the GPS capability for inter-coastal navigation in SWFL, and didn't want to spend $800 plus for a full blown chart-plotter with all the bells and whistles, I settled on the Helix 5 GPS/Sonar model. Saved a lot of money (up front) but ended up disappointed and spending a lot more money in the end.First disappointment was to discover all installation and operating instructions are on the included CD--nothing printed that you can actually hold in your hand (on the boat) while you're trying to figure the thing out. Not a big deal . . . but apparently Humminbird tries to keep the price point down by including every model in the Helix product line within one manual. A real pain having to take a laptop on my 19' boat and sorting through 80+ pages, trying to figure out if what you're reading applies to your model.Second disappointment was the included transducer mount. It wasn't the one that flips up if you strike something in the water--it was the solid one that simply breaks off if you hit something (even though all mounting instructions applied to the flip up one). Also the supplied mounting hardware did not include any cable clips (for mounting cable along the transom). Therefore the first "accessory" I had to buy prior to installation was the correct mounting bracket for another $20 (which did come with all the necessary hardware).Lastly, the biggest disappointment was Humminbird's pre-installed "Uni-Map". What a joke! Absolutely worthless-IMHO. After my first trip out using Uni-Map, I headed directly to West Marine and purchased a Navionics Gold card to use (another $200.00). I Would have liked to have preferred Navionics+ or Platinum but guess what? Not compatible with my particular Helix unit--go figure.All in all, I guess I got what I paid for. After several fine-tuning adjustments on the transducer and the installation of Navionics Gold charts, I'm getting fairly accurate depth readings, water temperature, and an accurate GPS system. I just spent a lot more money than I thought I would have to to get there.

Too Compliated For The Average Fisherman
It appears that this will be a good unit after I get everything figured out. The GPS functions are great. The Sonar and other depth functions appear to be good, but much too complicated for the average fisherman. The instruction manual, all 160 pages of it, are too technical orientated and detailed. It's like the old saying "I asked the time and he told me how to build a clock". I still haven't figured our how to identify a fish on the screen. I suggest that Humminbird have a fisherman write the manual, not a program developer. It isn't necessary to know how Sonar works to go fishing! By the way, I am a retired 80 year old electrical engineer with 50 years experience so I have some technical capabilities.

It was easy to install and everything I expected
It was easy to install and everything I expected. I've only had it a few weeks so we'll see how it holds up. I use it for walleye fishing on lake Erie.

I have used this unit once since buying it and I already hate it. The screen locks up or fails to turn on with the power button and the only fix is to unplug the unit and plug it back in. I can't justify buying another fish finder so I'm stuck with this one but it's so bad I'm considering installing a switch in the power line to disconnect power so I can easily power cycle the unit without physically unplugging it. If it wasn't for this problem, I'd be writing a MUCH different review. When it works, it's great.

Great Buy
Great product, still trying to figure out all the things it does. Only bad thing I see with the design, is that it will not swivel from side to side like the other fish finders I have. It only swivels up and down, not side to side. Other than that great buy.
