I adding Helix9 G3 at console and a Helix 10 G4 at bow. Can an ethernet cable be ran between them to share way points? Or should it go through the 5 port hub? May add a second unit at console. If unit has built in GPS can a GPS puck be added? Would like the GPS puck on console unit to be as close to rear transducer as possible.
Yes you can network two units with a single Ethernet cable. Each Helix unit needs an Ethernet Adapter (AS EC QDE) to connect an Ethernet cable to it. You need the Ethernet Switch to network more than two units or more than two network devices. Yes you can connect an external GPS antenna to a display and share it with other units via Ethernet.
