Attended The Technological Angler seminar a couple weeks back, and next to that this is hands down the most clear and concise instruction I've watched. Thanks!
Great video. I have had my Solix for a while, but I didn't know some of these actions. I would really like to see some more in depth videos for these units and the Mega Live so I can get all my equipment working more to my advantage.
I would really like to see a CLOSE UP presentation on how to hook up the wiring for a second side imaging transducer. Just bought the large Solix but unsure about getting a 2nd S I transducer.
Thanks for the video. 1 think I'm having a hard time figuring out (and can't find a good video that shows what buttons to press) is how to use the iPilot link to follow the contour lines on a Lakemaster map. Also - very little material out there that gets into the detail of how make and save your own maps. I've tried making maps twice - and it seems to work when I do it - but when I go back and try to see the map later all I can see are my boat tracks (not the contours).
In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ruclips.net/user/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
Thanks for the video, maybe there is a setting in humminbird that does not stop the SI when setting a waypoint? It is very inconvenient when SI stops at this time. The boat continues to move and while we set one point, we lose a lot of information. For lowrance SI echo sounders, it does not stop at this moment, but is recorded in the device’s memory and then scrolls quickly...
One thing I haven't been able to get anyone in Humminbird Technical Support to answer is how far back you can scroll in the sonar history. And is it based on distance, time, or sonar data complexity? I teach Humminbird Side Imaging to Public Safety Teams for Dive Rescue Int'l. That would be nice to know so I can have an intelligent answer for my students. Thanks, Dan
How far back can you scroll sonar history? No one at Humminbird Tech Support has been able to answer that for me. Is it based on distance, time, amount of data recorded (memory limit), or what?
How do I display cursor radius distance from waypoint on apex unit. When I scroll to the waypoint it shows the depth of water the waypoint is not distance to the object
Hi. Please answer how can i switch SI distance from ft to meters? Device is set to metric system but i still see ft. If i turn slider "m", scale with distance is disappearing. I do not understand why? Also 4.120 firmware has not been translated fully into Russian language.
Hello can you do a video on how to group your way points. Like i have 8000 waypoints how do i group them???. I see new group make a name but how do you put all the way points under that group name so that when im home looking i can go to a group and just look at those way points. With 8000 waypoints im pulling my hair out. Why cant it just be a highlight move to group name???? Thanks in advance ☺️
Not exactly like this video, but we plan to create one. Until then, we do have quite a few videos on our Humminbird Tutorials channel that break down different features and how to use them. We also have playlists on that channel based on different features or functions. It would be worth checking out. www.youtube.com/@HumminbirdTutorials

Thank you! Moving from helix to solid next week.
This video make me want to put solix on my new finval rather than helix, nicely done mate!

Thanks Luke. Just got a couple solixs and definitely love the upgraded features.

Great vid! Can’t wait until open water so I can use these tricks on my Solix!
Info about shortcuts is very usefull! 👍

Thanx a lot, very helpful video!
You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words 👊
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback, Ryan! 🤝
By looking at the screen of solix 15 how do you know where exactly the fish are ? In front of the boat or sides by looking at the screen ?
How do you go to a waypoint using coordinates? Can you download from to or from navionics?

Wonderful tips and shortcuts; Keep them coming for my Solix units.
👍
Hi- how do you turn the fish finder alert on. Mine notes that it is automatically muted.

Any practical suggestions how one should wipe off screen finger marks?
How do you add water temp to the chart display
Bonjour, ces le onix tactille avec deux ou trois raccourcis ça.vaux pas la penne de changer pour un apex ou un solix car tous et repris du onix

Have you ever had the touch screen intermittently stop working and have to use the toggle
How come my side bar disappeared when using a favorite view
Do you have a Helix version of this?

When can I buy one tho?
Solix has been out for several years at least 5 I’m guessing. You can buy them at most big store retailers. Hope this helped ya
@@finsfeathersandbone2823lol I’m from Canada and not buying gen 2s not easily found but I got a 15
How do we delete views.
Struggle with trails on my Solix. Constantly say it’s full.
Oh-oh, hello finger-print magnet - Think I'm in trouble choosing the touch screen version.😞
