Can I just use a $16 ethernet switch from Amazon instead of that overpriced garmin switch?

[@ZZ430T56]

Reminder you can't ethernet Echo mao and GPS Map together. Must all be the same family.

[@jasoncaylor2811]

Pre loaded maps won’t share? Ridiculous garmin.

How do you wire in a boat orientation sensor to the mix, the Garmins don't come with one and trying to square up on offshore structure is impossible without one. Can you address that issue and why aren't you educating buyers to this issue? I regret going with Garmin after installing them on my boat and heading out to my structure in the middle of the lake and finding there is no gps boat orientation sensor and you go one way and the sensor on the boat goes the other, wow was I pissed. And I'm guessing you guys are aware of this situation and why aren't you mandatorily wiring in one of those to your units? What say you on the subject?

What if I want to select different transducers for each unit? How do I name those transducers so that I know which is which?

Hey guys, I have two 10” Garmins, and recently got a network cable to link them. One thing that’s been happening to me though, is sometimes I can’t get Livescope to come up on my front graph. It seems like I’m getting a mirror from the console unit, which doesn’t have Livescope attached. So I have to shut both units off and turn on the front one first so I can get Livescope up. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

[@Garminrules]

You should have told them run the cable BEFORE you snap on the thread nut

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

So if i ethernet to my front unit and mark a way point on my console unit i cant see it on my front unit or vice versa without a map card on one unit ??

[@michaeljasensky5438]

Holy crap I believe you just answered literally ALL of my current questions! I have a 7" a 9" at my helm and two 10" 106's on my bow!

[@569rick]

Pre loaded maps will share when networked. I’m have a 106 and 102 and 102 only has base maps but when networked the 106 pre loaded maps are on my 102.

Nice job breaking down the system the variations. I was hung on the dongle not knowing I needed to add that to the small network cable,

[@roberthalstead4772]

That helps and answers a few questions of mine. I am going to give you a call after I think it over for a day while looking the boat over and try to come to a conclusion on what and how I want to do this. Thanks !

[@alphonsotownsend8208]

Thanks, I really appreciate the information, It was very helpful.

[@jwbrilliant]

Thanks! Very informative!

[@anonimous596]

thank you!!!!! makes it a whole lot easier than googling it all.......

[@BeaglerBassFishingOutdoors]

That ethernet cable looks short? Does it come long enough to go from bow unit to helm unit with the cable that comes with the live box?

[@foggybottombbq1916]

Thanks guys. Question on the mapping. I have 2 Echomap 10” units. Each have Lakevu mapping. Are you stating I need additional mapping card for sharing the maps when networking. Thanks for clarifying.

[@richardbushey4134]

I have 73sv at console, 93sv at bow. Both have 54 transducers (one on transom, one on trolling motor). Question: if I network cable between them to share screens, can I select which transducer use? Meaning, can each use it's own transducer, both units show trolling motor transducer, or both show transom transducer, etc? Or, do I have to unplug one transducer when networked?

[@spectrumpressurewashing1323]

I am flush mounting (2) 943xsvs hooked to a GMS 10. I have a navionics vision + card . What ports do the map card and the AC card have to be in so I don’t mistake my map card for the AC card ?
