Hey guys- I have a chance at a good deal at a Helix 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G3N. Is there much difference, performance wise between the G3N & the G4N?

Thanks in advance for any feedback…

Should add that I am not using Mega or any FFS with this unit. Ultimately, I need to decide if the G3N is good enough, or is it worth biting the bullet and paying significantly more for the G4N…

If you’re not running mega live you’ll be fine. The g4n 7” is mainly different that it’s compatible with mega live as g3n isn’t. Other than than very little difference.

Awesome, thank you! 
 

Any idea if the G3N transducer would be compatible with a Helix 10 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G4N? Reason I ask is because I have the Helix 10 in the back of my tiller Pro V. I want to add another locator, while moving the Helix 10 from the back of the boat to the bow…

Helix G3N Mega SI and DI models are Mega Live compatible: https://humminbird-help.johnsonoutdoors.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419729585303-MEGA-Live-Compatibility

 

I think the only major difference is that G4N Helix's have WiFi, but performance wise both use the same processor.

Call Humminbird, they are very responsive and you'll get a live agent.

Op is looking at a Helix 7 G3N. You must have a Helix 8 or above in G3N for mega live. G4N Helix 7 will work but not G3N
