I have two solix 15's
There's a debate going on over here if you can see the map from one lakemaster card on both units or not if they are connected with an ethernet cable..

SOLIX units will share mapping cards. Navionics, Lakemaster, Auto Chart, C-Map.
Where is "over here" that is clueless about SOLIX units?

Well I have been unable so far to get my lakemaster card to show up on my front unit. But I am very new to these units, so it must be a something I missed in the setup. Heck I can't even get the basemap to come up on that one. At first, it appeared I had two networks, one generated from the front and one generated from the back.. I thought that I had successfully put the front unit on the rear units network, but not luck on the map.

You don't put either unit on the others network. You choose what map product to display in the Setup/Chart menu. If you want the Basemap displayed just select that in either unit's Setup/Chart menu--both get changed at the same time.
Same for Lakemaster, just select Humminbird in the Setup/Chart menu on either unit.

OK, got it all setup with a SOLIX and ONIX. I have every Global setting off. I had no map card in either unit, both units displayed the Basemap.
Then I inserted a Chart Select card in the SOLIX, then in the SOLIX Setup Chart menu I selected Humminbird Chart Cards.
The Lakemaster map displayed on the ONIX but not the SOLIX. I restarted the SOLIX and no change reading the Lakemaster map, still showed on the ONIX, so I removed the card and the basemap showed on both units. Re-inserted it and the Lakemaster map showed on both units.
Soooo, the SOLIX is glitchy reading a Chart Select card (Lakemaster map), but not sharing it.
I'll pass on this test to Humminbird.

Yeah, I was just out there fooling with them, and after some fiddling, all of a sudden it worked... I can't explain why.
I imported my new waypoints into each unit and it was done.
But I did notice that my front trandsucer on my trolling motor was clicking like crazy. I could put my hand on it and it feel. My buddy says it's supposed to do that, but I found it weird...

I have a solix 12 on the front and a solix 15 at the console (they are linked with Ethernet). Both had navionics cards in them until recently when Humminbird released a card with my home lake. I put the Lakaster card in the 15 and the 12 will not read it. I removed the navionics cards to see if that would help but no. I took the 12 to Humminbird to see if there’s a problem with it. They ran a couple tests and it checks out fine. I was told to bring both units in and they would run further tests to try to find the issue. Both are running the latest software edition. I’ll try turning off global and see if that helps, are there any more suggestions if that fails?
After the update mine didn't work in the garage, but shared mapping once I got to the lake.
I have a local lake mapped with AC on my Console Solix10 G2, should I be able to see my AC maps on the Bow unit which is a Solix 10 G1?
Thanks

You cannot share AC data, but can make a copy on another zero line card for the other unit
