The Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP DI GPS G3 is a compact chartplotter and fishfinder bundle with a 5-inch 256-color TFT display, internal GPS, AutoChart Live, Down Imaging, Dual Spectrum CHIRP, and an included XNT 9 HW DI T transom-mount transducer. Its small footprint suits compact fishing boats, aluminum boats, and shallow-water craft where a larger display would crowd the helm.

Key Features

- 5-inch 256-color TFT display – Fits compact consoles while providing a dedicated chart and sonar screen.
- 800 x 480 resolution – Displays essential mapping and sonar information in a small housing.
- Down Imaging and Dual Spectrum CHIRP – Combines detailed downward imaging with conventional fishfinding.
- XNT 9 HW DI T transom-mount transducer included – Provides the hardware needed to use the included sonar functions.
- Internal GPS with AutoChart Live – Supports position tracking and user-created mapping on the water.

Who Is This For?

This bundle suits small fishing boats, aluminum boats, kayaks with a suitable mounting setup, and compact freshwater craft. The included transducer and internal GPS make it useful for a new installation without adding separate sonar hardware.

It is not ideal for offshore cruising or a multi-display marine electronics network. The 5-inch screen is compact, but it provides less chart and split-screen viewing space than 7-inch and larger MFDs.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatibility includes the XNT 9 HW DI T transom-mount transducer, internal GPS, AutoChart Live, Humminbird Basemap, Down Imaging, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP. The supplied specifications do not identify NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, radar, autopilot, or third-party chartplotter compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided; verify Humminbird accessory requirements before installation.

The HELIX 5 CHIRP DI GPS G3 is the compact, complete option for buyers who want a display, GPS, and transducer in one package. It takes less space than a 7-inch unit and includes AutoChart Live, Down Imaging, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP. The trade-off is the 5-inch screen, which is suitable for basic chart and sonar work but less comfortable for detailed viewing or split-screen use.
