can you guys describe the plusses and minuses of networking for me?  i've always had separate stand-alone and want to understand more of the capabilities and limitations of networking.  thanks! ...[/QUOTE]

sled,

I've always run seperate antennas too, but since I'm starting from scratch on the new boat I'm going to run a network.

The biggest benefit I see is for mapping out structure like BN (and many others) are doing.  I generally do that kind of mapping while running the big motor and using the unit at the console to lay down waypoints or icons.  When I want to fish those spots I marked I will be at the bow, and I want to see those icons on that unit.  With two units networked, I can see waypoints/icons that I lay down on the console unit while I am looking at the bow unit.  Right now, I have a single unit setup as portable that I move back and forth depending on what I am doing.  Again, since I'm starting from scratch on this boat I want to do it the easy way and setup a network.

i smell what you're steppin' in Baldy ... and that's the same thing i've got on my brain.    keep us posted on what you come up with as you get everything put together.

thanks ... jon[/QUOTE]
