Gen 2 and 3 are compatible If you are only linking 2 units via ethernet cable your LSS2 box is not required as with gen 3 it is built in. The number of units you can link would depend on how many ethernet ports your new gen 3 has larger units have more ports.
Lowrance units will not link with a Terova. If your Terova is Ipilot link and not just Ipilot you may be better off selling your Lowrance and buying birds
my terrova has ipilot but not link....so Ill probably stay with lowrance so I can just buy 1....So if I buy a new HDS9 gen3 my structure scan box is now useless or will it still function with the Gen2? Or with linking the gen3 to the 2 the gen 2 with use the structure scan from the gen 3? Just wanna do as efficient as possible and have good set up but I dont need to go crazy...
The gen2 HDS5 is lil small so I thought about leaving it at console put new HDS9 gen 3 at bow and get a 10inch droid tablet and use app to link it to the Gen3 HDS9 at bow and could watch the tablet from rear of boat? IS that accurate what I am trying to do and it is do able? get confused linking these things and how they will function...this good idea or No??
thanks |
