    Helix10 and GPS puck

    I have the non heading sensor GPS puck on my boat from my 1198c SI.

    Should I use that GPS puck or use the internal GPS in my new Helix10?

    Thanks

    Helix will be at the console
    Current GR50 puck will be at the back of boat not far from the transducer.

    That is the best setup for accurate waypoints-creating and returning to them.
