In the Hummininbird line of products, where does the Helix 7 stand. I am not familiar with the HB line at all. Thanks Daniel

That is the main product line. Helix replaced the units that used to have number names.
In a Side Imaging model, the Helix 12 CHIRP SI GPS replaced the 1199ci HD SI Combo.

There are three series of Helix 7 (7" diagonal display 16:9 ratio).
The same technology:
Helix 7 SI GPS=first generation--discontinued
Helix 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2=current model standalone unit
Helix 7 CHIPR SI GPS G2N=current model that is networkable

There are Helix 5 models=5" screen
Helix 7 models=7" screens
Helix 9 models=9" screens
Helix 10 models=10" screens
Helix 12 models=12" screens

The top of the line model is the discontinued ONIX and its replacement SOLIX.
They are more sophisticated and have touch screens.

How would a total HB novice tell the difference in the 3 Helix 7 models without the box or manual? Thanks Daniel

If you have the unit or it's on display, just turn it on and the model is displayed on the start up screen:
