    i have 2 helix 10 g1 in my boat now if i changed the one on dash to g2 then i would have to use the transducer for g2 on that unit, and trasducer g1 on front, would i be able to share waypoints on both and if i had lakemaster maps in both could i use the follow the contour with both units

    Do not think so. I have not seen any reference to using 1200, or 800 kHz for 360.

    Well BBW did you have a chance to check g1 vs g2? Was it worth it?

    Did anyone get screenshot comparison g1 vs g2 with 360? Does the g2 help?

    There is no difference using either version for the 360.
    Both have the same display and same settings for 360.
    The 360 uses 455 kHz=no change.

    The G2N models have CHIRP Sonar and CHIRP Imaging, still no difference for 360.
