Hi
I have just ordered a Lowrance Globalmap 7200c. At the moment I have a LMS-334. I would like to network these units, but I can’t figure out if I need to use LowranceNet or if NMEA 0183 will work fine for me.
1)
I would like to use the external antenna for both units, as the internal one in the LMS-334 is unstable. Can I do this with both systems?
2)
I would like to record depth/GPS data for making my own maps. Can I do this with both systems?
3)
I would like to share WP’s between the units. Can I do this with both systems?
As far as I can find out on the internet, the answer to question 1 is YES and NO to question 3. I haven’t found an answer to question 2.
If I decide to use LowranceNet, I run into a couple of more questions:
1)
Can I connect the LGC-3000 antenna to the Globalmap or do I have to connect is directly to a T connector to use it as an antenna for both units?
2)
Can I power the network through one of the Globalmap or do I have to power the network through a dedicated powercable and a T connector?
Thanks,
Granne
