linking question

[dan25]

So can a gen 1 Helix SI link to an Ipilot terrova with link? I am getting mixed answers. I just want to be able to select a waypoint from the screen on the Helix and go to it and have the trolling motor drive me there. Also wondering if a Gen 1 Helix SI can share waypoints with a 859ci Hd? I don't care about seeing sonar on the others screen, I just want to be able to see the waypoints on both and when I save a point on either graph I want it to be saved on both. I understand I wont be able to share mapping but hopefully waypoints will work.

I believe the answer to both questions is yes.

I believe that to be correct with a caveat. The waypoints will not be saved to both. The unit that creates the waypoint has it written to memory. The other unit will display it but only when the originating unit is on and communicating to through the Ethernet. Also make sure both units have been updated to the latest level. Bob

Ah. Great catch! That is accurate.

It can work as noted but in order to network all three devices you will need to use an Ethernet Switch if not already using one.

Are you referring to the box with ethernet ports?
