    Waypoints with Mega 360

    I have Helix Gen 4 Mega and Mega 360 for Ultrex at bow. Also using a Fortrex trolling motor. No other xdcrs connected
    Currently have AS GR50 GPS puck from 958CI at bow.

    Is this puck compatible with M360 ? And how do I get ability to mark waypoints on Helix unit running M360 screen?

    Also are waypoints from this compatible with Garmin or Lowrance units via a network?

    Thanks

    You will need a Fortrex mount to replace the Ultrex mount.

    You need a Heading Sensor to mark and display waypoints on the 360 view. AS GPS HS

    No, you cannot network any other sonar brand with a Humminbird to share anything.

    You need the AS GPS HS to mark and view waypoints on m360. I believe in the settings you need to enable m360 navigation as well.

    There is no network between Gramin/Lowrance/Humminbird.

    Thanks all. Do I need a Y splitter cable to connect the puck or does it plug directly into the Helix?

    Connects directly to the NMEA0180 port the same as an external GPS antenna connects to the 858

    Thanks Wayne. Final question- is it possible to have the AS GPS HS also connect to a Lowrance Gen 3?

    No, it is not a NMEA2000 device.
