Waypoints share if networked.

You need a map card up front ALSO if you want the same detailed map with contours etc, otherwise they will still be visible on the base map.

The technology to do this with cords/wires has been around for forty years (dummy monitors)
And for ten years with wireless mirroring and casting.

It’s frustrating when companies pull back the technology on their products for financial gain

Should be able to cast or mirror the map section on the display of one unit’s screen to another unit’s display monitor wirelessly.

But, it’s more profitable to be able to sell multiple map chips

I recently moved from Lowrance HDS Gen 3 to Humminbird Helix. Lowrance and the Solix shares the card between networked units. Humminbird Helix does not unless I am missing a setting. Also on Humminbird Helix if you have a waypoint on the console unit it does not also save/copy it to the upfront networked unit like Lowrance. It is only on the console unit and to see on the networked unit upfront the console unit must be on. Was kinda annoying at first but I love the birds so much more I am over it now and about to buy a second lake master card. 😊

I updated post to clarify Helix doesn’t as I understand the Solix does as noted below.

i have Solix Gen 2 and they do network and allow both units to share one mapping chip and weigh points.
