Revolutionary MEGA Imaging Technology
MEGA Side Imaging
Crystal-clear underwater views extending 125 feet on either side of your boat with unprecedented detail resolution. MEGA Side Imaging operates at 1075-1150 kHz frequencies, providing up to 3 times more detail than standard 455 kHz Side Imaging, allowing you to identify structure, fish, and bottom composition with remarkable clarity.
MEGA Down Imaging
Achieve exceptional underwater clarity straight down to 125 feet below your vessel. The advanced MEGA Down Imaging technology reveals fish-holding structure, vegetation, and bottom hardness with extraordinary detail, giving you the intelligence needed to make informed fishing decisions.
Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
Advanced CHIRP technology covers multiple frequency ranges simultaneously (83/200 kHz with 75-155/130-250 kHz sweep), delivering highly detailed fish arches and superior target separation. Choose between Wide Mode for maximum coverage or Narrow Mode for focusing on precise details, with depth capability up to 1,200 feet using the included transducer.
Advanced Networking and Connectivity
One-Boat Network Integration
Seamlessly integrate with Minn Kota trolling motors, shallow water anchors, and other Humminbird units through the comprehensive One-Boat Network system. This integration provides advanced boat control features and enhanced fish-catching capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MEGA Imaging and standard sonar?
MEGA Imaging operates at higher frequencies (1075-1150 kHz) compared to standard imaging (455 kHz), providing up to 3 times more detail and clearer target separation. This enhanced resolution allows you to distinguish between fish species, identify bottom composition, and locate structure with unprecedented clarity.
Can this unit be networked with other marine electronics?
Yes, the HELIX 7 G4N supports multiple networking protocols including Ethernet, NMEA 2000, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. It integrates seamlessly with Minn Kota trolling motors, shallow water anchors, radar systems, and other Humminbird units through the One-Boat Network.
What transducer is included and what are its capabilities?
The included XNT 9 HW MSI 150 T transom-mount transducer provides MEGA Down Imaging, MEGA Side Imaging, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar capabilities. It offers multiple beam angles (20°, 42°, 60°, and dual 86°) and operates across various frequencies for comprehensive underwater coverage.
Is this unit suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, the HELIX 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G4N is designed for both freshwater and saltwater applications. It features marine-grade construction with IPX7 waterproof rating and corrosion-resistant materials. The included coastal charts cover U.S. coastal waters for saltwater navigation and fishing.
How does AutoChart Live mapping work?
AutoChart Live creates real-time bathymetric maps as you navigate, recording depth contours, bottom hardness, and vegetation data. The unit includes 8 hours of built-in recording capacity and supports AutoChart Zero Line SD cards for unlimited mapping. Maps can be shared with other compatible Humminbird units.
What is the maximum depth capability?
The standard configuration provides sonar depth capability up to 1,200 feet. With optional 50 kHz transducers, the unit can reach depths up to 3,500 feet. MEGA Imaging functions are optimized for depths up to 125 feet for both Side and Down Imaging modes.
