Yes Helix units have bottom hardness and vegetation built in. The side imaging mosaic is a Solix-only compatible feature. I agree, unless I am missing something I dont see why it would be useful!

Hey BassResource family, I've ran Helix 10 G2N's for the past two years. In this time frame, I have utilized Autochart Live to it's full potential, which in turn has actually been a key factor in winning a few offshore tournaments. For those familiar with autochart, there is also a program you can buy (Autochart Pro), which allows you to upload your recorded data to the program. This was very beneficial for units with Autochart capabilities, but I see no benefit for Autochart LIVE units, which already display the recorded information on the unit itself (Helix series). So what I am wondering is, if there are any benefits to buying the software, and if so, what are they?! It would be a great way to organize and sort all my map data, but I can't justify spending that amount of money for that reason only. Any information would be greatly appreciated! I looked all over the web and the information is scarce. Thanks a lot, Matt

Thanks guys! Will definitely post if I make it down

Hey guys, I used to be quite active on this site, but my login credentials slipped my mind so I had to make a new account. Anyways, my tournament partner and I are planning a trip south of the border in the spring to Lake Champlain. I've spent a day or so researching the body of water, studying the lake maps and watching videos. We primarily only want to target largemouth. Im torn between where to start on this massive body of water. There are quite a few of great coves with secondary points and structure leading into the bays, but from what i've read, the largemouth fishing is primarily better in the south end of the lake? (Ticonderaga). We're aiming for pre spawn, and ive read mostly this area of the lake is dirty, muddy and silty, which I attribute to being not so good for the spawn. Having said that, bass season begins here in Ontario pretty well after the spawn, so im just going off of what I read. Ill be the first to say im not the most educated on pre-spawn fish. Im just wondering what peoples thoughts are on where we should fish, and what sort of structure/cover we should key in on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks a ton, Matt
