Did some research before I ordered the Elite 7 TI's. They can share waypoints through NMEA 2000 but not transducer info like one would get through an ethernet connection. Will work well for what I will be using the units for. If I am mistaken please let me know. I have plenty of time to come up with other electronic options. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

You're correct that you will be able to share waypoints through the NMEA network.  Didnt realize that you were going to set up a NMEA network.  Unfortunately, there is no map or transducer sharing option on those units though.  Like I mentioned earlier, I really hope Lowrance realizes the gap that they have between the HDS and current TI options and comes out with a little larger screened TI with ethernet capabilities equivalent to the 9 and 10" helix units.  I am a lowrance guy, but I think humminbird has hit a home run with those units.  Although not cheap, they are much more affordable than HDS or Onix units with all of the features I would need.[/QUOTE]
