    360 waypoints

    I recently upgraded to the 360 and a Ultrex. I mounted the Ultrex and wired it to the puck it came with for the jog feature. I installed the 360 but didn't use the puck that came with it. After all that said and done...everything works great except i don't see my waypoints when using the 360. Do I need to mount and connect the puck that came with the unit to be able to see the waypoints? Is it possible to tie into the puck used for the Ultrex? Or the puck installed for my Helix? Just not crazy about adding another puck but I would if i had to...

    The Minnkota puck talks to the iPilot ONLY via Bluetooth

    The Humminbird GPS/Heading sensor connects to your Helix with a cable and provides heading so you can view waypoints on the 360 view.

    Then I must be missing something. As far as I knew I thought I had wired correctly. I’m plugged into the Helix and now puzzled why I don’t see the waypoints.

    Did you turn 360 Navigation on?

    If it has to be turned on manually I assume it’s not on. I will have to check on that...thanks

    Default is OFF. If you do a software update it will be OFF again if it is turned ON.

    Humminbird could improve their communications with their customers if they inform people of the changes to the software when they make upgrades such as items being moved to different locations. It causes a lot of frustration with the equipment.
