Thread: Ether netting graphs Questions?

Ok, so I've got a few questions about ether netting my electronics and thought maybe someone on the site could give me some pointers and help.

1. I'm using the Navionics Platinum package on both of my Hummingbirds. I have a 999 in front and an 1198 on the console in back. Can I buy one upgrade package and download updates to both graphs for the next year or do I have to buy a package for each fish finder?

2. Has anyone compared the Navionics against the Hummingbird Lakemasters program? I see that Lakemasters is now out with a V4 for the SE, what is the advantage to that system over Navionics/Hot Maps?

3. If I Ethernet my graphs, do I still need two mapping chips (One for each graph) or can I use just one?

4. I have the cabling to do the ehternetting, can you do it by yourself or does it need to be done by a certified person to maintain warrantees?

5. With the graphs I have, can I use the self mapping options on the new Lakemasters program or does it require the newer Helix models?

Appreciate the help guys.
