I added a HDS7 Gen 2 Touch with Structure Scan, linked my HDS5, on bow, with Ethernet cabling, added NMEA 2000 networking, added Point 1.

Did you link a Gen 2 with a Gen1?

Yes I did. Works great. I can even view Structure Scan on my HDS5 Gen 1.

The shared info is great also. I can input GPS info on on 1 unit and view on both. Although I'm new to this networking, learning this technology is way cool!!

Price reductions on Gen 2 units is good right now. That's the only way I can afford it. I may be looking at HDS9 Touch soon as well.

Thanks, I wasn't aware they were compatible. That's great news for me!
