Settings for the Xi5

Xi5 link with a Gateway.
That it is all in the settings on the Lowrance unit to make the xi5 work correctly. What you got to do is go into the data sources menu and use the GPS in the Lowrance unit. Do not set it to Auto and do not set it to the MotorGuide unit. You set it to the internal GPS of the Lowrance unit. Also there is another function in that menu that says Global or local and you want to set that to local. The default is global. Then you need to go to the menu selection that says vessel and it varies between Lowrance units but you need to go in there and there's the same type of system for data source. That one you need to deploy the motor so that it recognizes the motor and you set that data source from Auto to MotorGuide. Apparently the Lowrance units do not have a built-in compass in the fish finder. So what you're basically doing is using the GPS on the fish finder and you're using the compass from the motor guide. That way they'll communicate between each other and the map should stay oriented and the motor should work the way it is supposed to. make the map, trails and routing ten times more accurate.
I run mine with a Lowrance Point-1; the Point-1 is an electronic GPS antenna but with a compas.
I attach a pic showing my Lowrance screen. Hope this will help

So for instance on your picture if you didn't have the point 1, you'd set it to HDS 12 gen3(this device)?

Yes
