    Networking Solix ?'s

    I have two solix 12's g2. The one on the console is mega si the front is the mega di. The front has the as gps precision puck and I will be adding mega 360 once my order ships. What am I giving up if I dont network them? Is it just GPS waypoints? I'm gaining less battery pull and I dont really feel I need the waypoints shared.

    If you only have the two units connected via Ethernet, you don't gain anything by not networking them if you have both powered at the same time.
    Your total amp use is the same networked or not networked.

    What you loose is waypoint sharing, map sharing, all sonar function sharing, and GPS/Heading sharing.
