Hey guys im looking at buying a helix 7 gps si G2 used from a guy on facebook, i currently have the garmin striker vivid 9 and my issue with it is the gps mapping, the lack of navionics or any sd card slot is a big issue for me as i fish new lakes a lot. I know the helix 7 g2 is older model than my striker, but would it still be a good “replacement” for my striker? My striker would be getting moved to the bow

Also forgot to mention it comes with a lakemaster plus sd card

For $200 or less?  Maybe.  The helix series are being phased out overall, but the G2 is old enough that it was basically done being updated anyway.  A brand new G4 MSI is only $550 right now and is going to be a better unit.  It gets you mega side imaging (with the tiny transducer) which will be better than an older G2 without it.  I’m not sure that a G2 is going to be much better than your striker, but if the striker doesn’t work then anything will be better.

I wouldn't buy used G2. Opt for the new G4 @ $550....

 

Buy once, cry once...

Ha! Well played!

 

I had a Garmin Ecomap side view in the past. Excellent unit! 

 

Strong work!
