I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

The Humminbird 411440-1CHO Helix 12 Chirp MEGA DI+ GPS G4N CHO is a top-of-the-line fish finder with a 12.1" display. It features MEGA Down Imaging+, Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar, and internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap.
In addition to its impressive features, the HELIX 12 CHIRP MDI+ GPS G4N CHO also includes standard functions like AutoChart Live, Wi-Fi, and NMEA 2000. It even has Bluetooth and Ethernet networking for compatibility with the One-Boat Network family of products from Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon.
This model, the Control Head Only (CHO) version, does not come with a transducer. However, it offers the advantage of being compatible with a range of accessory transducers, including the Minn Kota Built-in MEGA Imaging trolling motors. It also allows for sharing sonar data from an existing Humminbird Ethernet network.
With the HELIX 12, you can effortlessly control your fish finder with the touch of a button. It features a user-friendly menu system operated by soft key controls, ensuring reliable functionality in any conditions.
The MEGA Down Imaging+ technology provides unprecedented underwater clarity, with coverage extending down to 200 feet below your boat. With 20% more detail and 60% more depth capability than MEGA Down Imaging sonar, you'll unlock more fish and identify hidden structures.

In terms of networking, the HELIX 12 has NMEA 2000 connectivity built-in. This allows you to connect additional NMEA 2000 networks for even more information, from boat performance to weather and water conditions.
