    Data cable connections

    If I read the link correctly, non plus units, do not use Ethernet. I would recommend to call Garmin though, to verify.

    Wow! Prices are steady coming down on Side view down view sonars for sure. Two or three years ago a 9" sonar unit with what these do would have cost way way more. Great price to my notion although I am partial to Humminbirds hoping they will come down in price soon.
    Be safe and good luck fishing

    I ordered one yesterday and should be here Thursday. Best deal on a 9" screen I have found. Will post a review and some pictures after I get the unit. Anyone have any tips for installation of that rather large transducer? Thanks

    Are you mounting on the transom or trolling motor?

    only thing that keeps me from Garmin is not being able to use my Navionics cards. If I could I would buy me a set also

    I am going to move my Humminbird Helix to the front of the boat on the trolling motor and this one will run to the transom. Hopefully by the fall I can get a second Garmin for the trolling motor.

    Both the nonCHIRP and CHIRP echoMAPs share wpts with each other via High Speed Protocol (blue/brown wires on unit PWR cables). These units will not share with the newest Plus units that use ethernet to share wpts and sonar.
