I accidentally caught you on my smart TV and you are really helping to clear things up as I bought a new Helix 8 last fall and am trying to figure this out. My old unit was 12 year old Lowrance so it is completely different.
Your a great teacher. Thanks for not skipping the details on the simple things that others assume you should know. I appreciate you taking time to share your knowledge. Much appreciated!!
Thank you so much for the kind words Brad. Simplifying the learning process for new and experienced Helix owners is one of the main objectives of my RUclips channel. I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my video.
Hi Steve, As Brad says, Thanks for not skipping the details on the simple things. Most videos that I've watched others talk like the experts they are and leave most of us well behind. I have a question, at 2:20 on the video there is an Icon of a cassette tape in the top left. Do I need to use this for recording to share my video chart recordings of my lakes to Humminbird on line?
You can record information from your screens so that you can play them back. I personally have not shared information from continuous recordings. Screenshots are easily transferable to a sd card and you can make a duplicate copy to share with your friends. It’s worth a try for sure. I believe that recordings are not as easily shareable. If you try, I would love to know if you can. Maybe I will play with it when I have a recording. We can all learn together.
Question....When you press and hold the View key to access either the Sonar box or the Chart box, will any of the views the owner has previously chosen to be "hidden....not visible" show up?
Hi David, I would expect those views to not show up when you hold the view key but I haven’t tested that out. Just make sure that the views you want are visible and not hidden. The common choices are visible because they are popular.

how do you set it up for metric version, please
Hit menu menu, go to the “Set Up” tab at the top, scroll down to the Units and change to metric (Depth, Temp, Distance, Speed).
@@stevechiassonfishing5876 thank you for the info
Were you the teacher in Ferris Buehlers Dayoff movie?
I will give you the most unique comment award 🥇 ever on my RUclips channel.
Are the gauge views programable, NMEA 2000 data?
I have never had the NMEA connection on my Helix so I am really not that familiar with the operation of NMEA.
@@stevechiassonfishing5876 My HDS you can choose which engine parameters you wish.
I believe you can customize on Humminbird as well but I am not 100% sure.
