Need to be more specific, what all pieces do you have and what all have you hooked up? What are you looking to accomplish? Are you just wanting to be able to share waypoints?

It should be plug and play with the ethernet cable. Plug it in and you should be good. Do you have any other devices such as a LGC-4000 puck? It's just not working or what?

In order to share waypoints, both units have to be turned on. You have to tell the unit to read the back unit. If I remember right, you have to go under menu, settings and system. You have to tell it which unit you want both units to read.

As for temp, do you have the temp overlay on the screen? If not, menu, page, edit data overlay. Find temp and add it to the screen.

We had both on and did the auto configure or whatever it was in the network settings, will have to check on the overlay but pretty sure it worked when on the console...Will mess with it later after the storms let up....

Ok GPS is shared but still no ducer reading on the bow unit and console unit shows either no temp or 32.8 degrees....
