Clarification on Mega 360 set up

[Jojo55]

You should get a Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA DI+ GPS G4N with its transducer and put that transducer on the trolling motor, no transducer for the Helix 10==turn Sonar OFF.
Connect the MDI+ transducer and the MEGA 360 to the G4N unit via the 9 M360 2DDI Y cable.
Share data to the Helix 10 from the bow Helix 12 via Ethernet.

That way the 2D/DI/MEGA 360 will be pinged in a sequence so cross-talk can't happen.
AND you will have HW CHIRP at the bow.

Thanks Wayne! Appreciate the info and will install as advised.

Wayne,

Another question for you.... once I've installed as suggested will I be able to link all 4 units via ethernet box? Mainly so waypoints show up on the G4N 360 view along with other units.

Thanks!

You can link them to share all data, BUT you need one more device to mark and display waypoints on the M360 view.
AS GPS HS at the bow connected to a bow unit or iPilot LINK.

With this turned on:

So a 5th unit is needed?

No just a Heading source (compass)==either the AS GPS HS or iPilot LINK.

Ahh okay had me nervous there for a second lol! I do have a GPS puck and will try that.

Thanks again!

A GPS puck will not work, has to be a combo GPS/Heading puck==the one I stated AS GPS HS.
