    HB mapping ?

    Currently running 2 HDS 12’s, and a HB12 Mega, point 1 on the HDS units, but I notice the HB map spins when I am stopped, the HDS units did that until I added the point 1, so do I need to add an antenna for the HB unit ?

    The AS GPS HS antenna has a Heading Sensor just like the Point1 does.
    Humminbird's GPS antennas are connected directly to a display, they are not network devices like the Point1.

    There is a way to connect the Point1 to the Helix, but I don't know if Heading can be shared that way. Some have done it and can comment on it.
    That takes the AS ETH NMEA2K black box, Ethernet cable, Ethernet adapter cable, and Lowrance network parts.
