HB Live networking and display question??

[joe3buck3]

Just preparing for the eventual add of the HB Live after it is readily available. I have the following set up:
Helix 15 SI cho (no transducer)
Minn Kota Ulterra MDI with iPilot
Mega360.
These are all connected and working properly on the Helix 15. When/if I add the HB Live I will need to purchase the HB ethernet switch and possibly misc cables for the LIVE connection.

My question is: Can I display M360 and LIVE on the Helix 15 screen at the same time if I want to?

I can now display M360 alone or with almost any combination of MDI, 2D or mapping.

No one knows, it is not available yet or the software for it.

Thank you Wayne.
That would explain why I have been unable to find the answer to my question(s).

There is the "could you" question, which Wayne answered, and then there is the "would you want to" question. I have a 15" Solix which I also used for Mega 360 on half the screen. For me, that just wasn't enough screen real estate for Mega 360. I ended up buying a Solix 12 and dedicating it to Mega 360 in full screen mode.

Even if you could run Mega Live on half of a 15" screen, I don't know that I would want to do that. I think I would have the same issue I did with running the Mega 360 on half a screen... It just wasn't large enough to give me the detail I wanted.

Another question to consider...will a LIVE and 360 Mega transducer play together? Interference could be a big issue. Wayne says it all though...who knows?

I can't imagine Humminbird not having Mega 360 and Mega Live where they play well together... Time will tell.

I appreciate the input guys.
Depending on what I am trying to accomplish I run my M360 full screen and usually in Front View. I have assigned one of the 6 Shortcut Keys to M360. But sometimes i want to know the full picture of exactly what is happening below and around me so I have MDI/2D running on one side with M360 on the other. This view is also assigned to a Shortcut Key. Whether or not LIVE can be simultaneously displayed along side the M360 is less important than knowing that both M360 and LIVE can exist on the same Helix15 and are just a Shortcut key away. I don't want to have to mount another Helix at the bow to see LIVE.

The best feature of the Helix 15 for me (other than the screen size of course) is the availability of the 6 Shortcut Keys. This puts any custom view I want at the touch of a key.
