Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 – 5" Fishfinder/Chartplotter with CHIRP Sonar & GPS

The Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 provides the same core advantages as the Down Imaging model, minus the DI view, making it a streamlined choice for anglers focused on strong 2D sonar performance. Equipped with Dual Spectrum CHIRP, it scans the water with both wide and narrow beams, giving you the flexibility to search broadly or hone in on specific targets. This results in clearly defined fish arches and distinct separation from structure or bottom, so you know exactly what lies below.

Navigation is fully integrated – with the included GPS and base map, you’re not only finding fish but also aware of your surroundings. The basemap provides essential information like depth contours and hazards for U.S. waters (in this model), and you can always add more detailed charts if needed. The Helix 5 G3’s screen might be small, but it’s high-contrast and easy to read, and thanks to the simple menu system operated by buttons, anglers of all levels will find it easy to use.

The HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 shares many of the advanced features of its DI counterpart: you’ll enjoy AutoChart Live for personal mapping – a great tool for mapping a hidden cove or an unknown lake. The device includes a Dual Spectrum CHIRP transducer to get you fishing right out of the box. It’s also compatible with various Humminbird and Minn Kota systems (for example, i-Pilot Link on trolling motors or AIS devices) if you choose to expand your capabilities. Durable and compact, it’s a perfect match for small boats, and many use it as a portable unit as well. Trust in the Helix series’ proven reliability, the one-year warranty, and Humminbird’s support to keep you fishing smarter.
