Any tips on making sure that my 2 Helix units share All of the Waypoints and not just Some ? Both are setup to Share. Could it be a connection issue ? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not a Helix guy, but I do know that when you create a Waypoint, it only physically exist on the unit you use to create the waypoint. When you network Helix units, they will then display their own waypoints as well as the waypoints that exist on the other units. It sounds to me like you are only displaying the waypoints which are physically on each unit rather than all waypoints.
Hopefully one of the Helix guys will chime in on any settings which may cause this.

Sharing waypoints is default. You can turn it off if you want.
If your network connection is functioning, waypoints from other units will be displayed in another color.
All the units have to be fully operating to do the sharing.
In no case are waypoints written to other unit's memory. If you want the same waypoints in all unit's memory, you have to Export and import via memory card.

Thanks guys, maybe I’ve inadvertently turned of the sharing. I mark most of my stuff on the front Helix and then I assume that I can get to that spot while on the Big Motor , and sometimes the console Helix doesn’t show it.
