SOLIX units come in two versions. One is equipped with GPS and CHIRP Digital Sonar, the other adds Humminbird\u2019s game-changing MEGA Imaging, which apparently is the first Down and Side Imaging technology to enter the megahertz range.<\/p>\n
Humminbird said that because the units have a performance that\u2019s three times greater than traditional 455 kHz frequencies, the result is clear, sharp imaging where anglers can choose MEGA Side Imaging for a clear view to the left and right of the boat, or MEGA Down Imaging which gives crystal clear pictures of what is beneath.<\/p>\n
Ray Schaffart, brand manager, Humminbird, said, \u201cThe screen detail is so defined that in some cases you can literally see each individual fish and make out their head or tail in the sonar shadow. Natural bottom structures like rocks and stumps almost look like photographs, while man-made structures like shipwrecks, road grades or sunken bridges, offer up imagery down to the individual beam. After people see it, they just can\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new series combines 12\u201d and 15\u201d displays with Cross Touch Interface, MEGA Imaging, CHIRP Digital Sonar, AutoChart Live with vegetation and bottom hardness mapping, Bluetooth connectivity and i-Pilot Link navigation.<\/p>\n
Both versions of the unit come standard with Humminbird\u2019s Cross Touch Interface, letting anglers operate the unit via touchscreen or keypad, all while customising the screen with up to four independent viewing panes.<\/p>\n
Also standard on all SOLIX models is Humminbird\u2019s expanded AutoChart Live technology that creates and saves structure maps on any body of water and identifies and maps depth, bottom hardness and vegetation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Humminbird has combined what it calls all its best features and placed them into its new SOLIX series which promises to take the guess work out of fish-holding structures for anglers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10282,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-10281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10281"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10283,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10281\/revisions\/10283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10281"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=10281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
