Humminbird Helix 8 Chirp GPS G4N Fish Finder

The Humminbird 411330-1 Helix 8 Chirp GPS G4N Fish Finder is a top-notch fish finder with impressive features. It comes with an 8" display, Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar, and internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap.

One of the key highlights of the HELIX 8 CHIRP GPS G4N is its intuitive keypad control. With the touch of a button, you can easily access the preloaded views from the user-friendly menu system. The soft key controls allow you to operate the fish finder reliably in any conditions.

The Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar technology provides highly-detailed fish arches and a clear view of fish-holding structures and the bottom. It utilizes the Low-Q CHIRP transducer to offer two search modes: Wide Mode for maximum coverage and Narrow Mode for focusing on the slightest detail.

The internal GPS and Humminbird Basemap enhance your fishing and navigation experience. The enhanced basemap provides a clear view of underwater terrain and surrounding points of interest, giving you total confidence on the water. It includes charts of over 10,000 lakes and coastal coverage for the continental U.S.

In addition to its impressive features, the HELIX 8 CHIRP GPS G4N also offers Bluetooth connectivity. You can take control right from the screen of your Humminbird fish finder, allowing wireless communication with compatible Talon and Raptor shallow water anchors, as well as Cannon Optimum downriggers. It also supports wireless software updates via the Humminbird FishSmart App and displays smartphone notifications on the device.

The fish finder is equipped with built-in NMEA 2000 networking, allowing you to connect an accessory NMEA 2000 network for more information. From boat performance to weather and water conditions, you can make sense of it all with NMEA 2000 networking.

In terms of compatibility, the unit does not come with 360 mega capability. However, it can be networked to a mega si di gen4, allowing you to view si di on the screen. Adding a 360 to the si di unit may show the imaging on the mega 8.

If you are specifically looking for side imaging, this particular model (411330-1) does not include that feature. A recommended alternative with side imaging is the HELIX 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N (Humminbird item #411350-1).

For those wondering whether the g3n can be networked with the g4n, the answer is yes. Users have successfully networked a 9-inch g3 with this 8-inch g4, and everything works as intended.

In terms of controlling a trolling motor, the Humminbird Helix 8 Chirp GPS G4N is compatible with the I-pilot system. If you have an I-Pilot Link, you will be able to network it with this fish finder for convenient control of your trolling motor.
