hook 7 locator as gps only

can i use my hook 7 without a transducer for gps lake maps only

I use my elite 7 the same way, should be no issue.

Yep. My hook2 5 works just fine as gps with no ducer connected.

I do the same thing as Cameron and tangler. Hook it up to a battery source and just turn off the sonar. I’ve got maps of local lakes on a chip that I made with the cmap genesis (or whatever it’s called now) that I’ve created in my kayak. Go back to the structure in the winter. Those maps are way more accurate for my local waters than anything on the mobile navionics.

I bought a used on off craigslist for that purpose alone. I have it on a Ram mount that I can move from sled to wheeler to inside the truck depending on where and when I’m fishing.
