Ordered a Helix 5. Was in the Cs ad for 349 and comes with a free map chip 199 value. Also bird has a 25 mail in rebate on these. Going to use it on the bow of my boat and the GPS on the snowmobile

the one that is on sale  with the navionic chip does that come with DI and SI or just DI?

The model I found online is Humminbird® Helix 5 DI Sonar/GPS Combo but in the description it mentions Side Imaging and Down Imagine? 

" DualBeam PLUS transducer included. 455kHz/85° frequency/coverage for Down Imaging and Side iImaging®. 200kHz/20° or 83kHz/60° frequency/coverage for DualBeam PLUS with SwitchFire. IPX5 waterproof rating. Included Navionics+ mapping supplies 1-ft. contours of more than 18,000 lakes in the U.S. and Canada "

Yes its just the one with DI. I wont get much use out of the DI which probably wont work that well on the trolling motor anyway and not sure the SI would work any better. Just wanted a cheaper locator with GPS to use on the bow and small enough to work on the snowmobile. With the free chip and rebate its a pretty good deal.

Late to the party, but it'll work just fine.  It's actually a pretty sweet feature once you figure it out.
