I bought a new Hummingbird ice helix 5 chirp GPS G2. And a transducer for my boat. And have had nothing but frustration using it. Nearly $500 bucks for garbage. It quit reading the other day between moving from one lake to the other. Just reads 0.0 feet depth. I hate their internet site. It is the worst I have ever dealt with in 30 years on the computer. But I had to send my transducer back to them. So now I'm going to Strawberry and planning to hook my boat transducer that I never mounted on my boat and use that through the ice. I've said this before. I seen this YouTube video from a paid Hummingbird rep. That said he goes by the 80/20 rule. 80% of the people only know how to use 20 % of their fish finder. He seemed proud of this. Like he was so superior to us. And if you download a owners manual. And it is not simple, there is only one that covers all there hundreds of fish finders and you have to decide yourself what pertains to your unit. I still don't know what I can do, like do I have side finder when I switch to my boat transducer? Don't buy Humminbird.
That's all I can say.
