| I have a lcx 27 and a 112 networked. I think it is most useful for having your waypoints show up on each unit, no matter which one you mark it at. I have the ethernet cable too, and picking the transducer you want is handy and could be a trip saver if you had a transducer go bad on you.
One word of caution, as I read through these posts there is a lot of comments on the accuracy of the waypoints in relation to the puck at the front or back of the boat and the need for two pucks to keep the accuracy. You may want to watch your "position error" for awhile and then make a decision on the two pucks. Mine jumps all over the place and many times is within 20', and many times a lot over that, even 100'-300' depending on the strength and quality of signalo at the time. Just saying, if your "position error" is usually around 20' or more, the distance between the front or back of the boat, or console, may be negligible. I have my puck about the center of the boat and am happy with one on the network for both units. A lot of people forget about the "position error" when planning or talking about the accuracy on the gps.
