    From the Garmin website:

    "
    Share Sonar, Waypoints and RoutesHave more than one unit? You can share sonar, waypoints and routes with other ECHOMAP Ultra 10” and 12” units as well as ECHOMAP Plus 7” and 9” units".

    I'm assuming so, i am hoping to do the same thing.

    I don't see why not. Make sure your software is up to date. I seem to remember having some issues displaying data from the gt54 through the network on my plus, prior to updating. You may be a little disappointed with the way it turns out. The plus units just can't compare with the ultra units screen resolution.

    Update: Tried to display UHD on my 93s+ with the gt54 connected to the 106. Didn't work. It froze the down/side imaging on the 93.

    I'm surprised. Now I'm not using the Plus or Ultra units but I do have an 8616 networked with a 1242 and 942xs. The 942 is very limited in terms of built in capabilities, but it will display whatever the 8616 provides, meaning UHD, LVS12, ...

    I believe I would put in a call/email to support about this just to be sure.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    This should work. One of the engineers tested Ultra and Plus sonar sharing, and had no problems changing transducer sources & frequencies from both transducers on the ECHOMAP Plus. Verify that the Ethernet cables have a good connection.

    Ok will do. It ran the 455 from the gt54 just fine, but when I switched to 1120, it froze. I will recheck all of my connections when I get home.
