Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 - 5-Inch Display

Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 puts a 5-inch color TFT display, built-in GPS, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar into a compact marine electronics unit. Its 800H x 480V pixel matrix gives the screen a defined mapping and sonar view on a small boat console.

Compact Display And Sonar

The 5-inch display and 800H x 480V resolution show sonar returns, mapping, and chartplotting information. The unit uses Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar and supports standard transducer depth readings to 1,200 feet.

Humminbird lists sonar frequency support at 50, 80, and 200 kHz, with additional CHIRP modes covering Full, Narrow, and Wide operation. The standard transducer is the XNT 9 HW T, and the transducer mount location is the transom.

GPS Mapping And Compatibility

The internal GPS receiver supports built-in mapping, GPS chartplotting, and GPS trackplotting. A single microSD card slot supports chart and mapping functions, while LakeMaster compatibility gives the unit access to compatible Humminbird mapping products.

The HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 carries product code 411660-1 and uses keypad control rather than touchscreen operation. Humminbird lists compatibility with AIS, AutoPilot, and Minn Kota US2 Sonar equipment.

Power input is rated at 10.8-20 VDC, with a listed power draw of 615 mA. Peak-to-peak output is 4,000 watts, while RMS output is 500 watts.

Size Price And Warranty

Humminbird lists the unit at $349.99 in the United States as of 09/23/2026. The standard gimbal-mount dimensions are 7.55 inches wide, 4.64 inches high, and 3.3 inches deep, with a listed weight of 2 pounds 1.92 ounces.

The manufacturer provides a one-year limited warranty. Compared with the HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 PT portable version, this model uses a standard gimbal mount rather than a portable configuration, making the mounting hardware a central distinction between the two models.

Best Fit On The Water

The HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 sits in the compact fish finder and chartplotter segment. Its 5-inch screen, internal GPS, built-in mapping, and 1,200-foot standard sonar depth make it suited to anglers who need core navigation and sonar functions without a larger display.

The limits are equally concrete: the screen is 5 inches, the controls are keypad-based, and the standard unit is designed around a 10.8-20 VDC marine power supply. The result is a focused choice for smaller boats and installations where a compact footprint matters more than a large touchscreen.
