    Mega 360 compatibility?

    I'm running a helix 10 MSI+ gps g4n at my console and a helix 10 chirp di gps g2n at the bow. If I get the mega 360 and a port switch and hook all units to network can I see and control the 360 from the g2n? If not what model helix with gps would I have to get for this to work?

    The MEGA 360 connects to a unit's transducer port.
    It takes a Helix G3N/G4N MEGA SI+ or MEGA DI+ unit to run it. Has to be connected to one of those models.
    It replaces Side Imaging on a SI+ unit and adds Side Imaging to a DI+ unit.
    It can be shared to a G2N via Ethernet.

    You do not need the Ethernet Switch for just two displays.
    If you want to connect the MEGA 360 to a bow unit, you need a minimum of a Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G3N or Helix 9 CHIRP MEGA DI+ GPS G3N.
    If you add the third unit, then you would need the Ethernet Switch to connect each display to it. That would require an AS EC QDE for each display and an Ethernet cable between each and the Switch.

    I have the G4N+M360 at the bow and a G2N on my console. Works fine.
