esox riebe,
so you drive around laying icons, say you are coming up to a particular rock or weedline edge, you lay down an icon from the puck that is in the front of the boat, but your boat is reading the depth/structure at the BACK of the boat, so you lay down an icon that is in some cases depending on the size of the boat, possibly 20 feet off...that is my point...there are many cases where 2 feet can make a difference..using a chip and transferring data from the console unit to the bow unit is much more accurate..a bit of a pain but it gets easy once you thoroughly mark up a lake...
the best and most accurate way to mark stuff is not networked...
