840sx Networking Sonar

[Pokerbill]

Does anybody have an 840sx networked through ethernet sharing sonar with another unit. Manual is vague. Emailed customer service snd asked if it was possible. They told me if I wanted to network sonar don!t buy a 840sx (?). Got a great buy but Garmin is 0 for 2 so far ( I haven't opened the box yet) and thinking there might be a better choice. This is silly not asking much.

I have my 1040xs network with 547xs. They share transducer and mapping. You have to get one the will network with the 840xs. I think a 741xs will network with it but I could be wrong..

Thank You very much, the 547 will work for me as well. That is actually exactly what I asked Customer service. If it works on your boat, should work on mine.

Have you called customer support or looked at the specs? They actually answer the phone :)

Look part way down this page for a list of units it can share sonar with:

Yes, the 840xs is fully Ethernet-compatible, so no issues at all sharing sonar via Ethernet to another compatible device.
