On a boat with networked HB units you can subscribe to any transducer type from any unit connected to the network, found unit the network settings, and can be customized specifically for each unit. For example, the bow unit can display US2 2D sonar from the trolling motor while also subscribing ("mirroring") the transom MEGA SI/DI transducer information from the console unit.

The only limitation is not being able to display two of the same sonar views at the same time, on the same unit. Example, you can not show 2D CHIRP sonar from the US2 trolling motor transducer and 2D CHIRP sonar from the transom transducer on the bow unit at the same time.

These settings are a sonar setup that some anglers would run when they were using 2D sonar to determine the steepness of a break line by monitoring the difference in depth between the front and back of the boat. However, with the accuracy of today's charts from LakeMaster and Navionics and additional advancements in other sonar technologies (SI and DI) this technique has become less utilized because it is simply easier to let the technology to do the work and show you the answer than try to figure it out for yourself the hard way.
