Point one gps puck

I was looking into buying a point one gps puck. I have three lowrance Hds linked together thru Ethernet cords thru the structure scan. I was wonder if you hook up the puck thru the nmea cord to one unit if it will go thru the Ethernet cord to the other units or it will just work for one depth finder?? Or if it only goes to one depthfinder, is there a way to get it on all three depthfinders??

All units off of NMEA 2000

So I will have to network the units together with nmea like I did the Ethernet cables?

If I’m not mistaken Mr. W. Guy, once the Point One is plugged into one head unit, it can be selected from all others on the Ethernet.

Cool I was hoping so. Didn’t wanna mess around with getting them all hooked up to nmea cords. Thank you

How much better is the Point1 compared to the internal GPS on the gen3 HDS ?

In my hds gen 2 it made a noticeable difference

Where do you guys have you pucks mounted? Transom or by the console?

If you see an object on your console sonar and mark a waypoint, you want the GPS receiver near the transducer so you’re marking the coordinates where you physically see the object. If the puck is 8 ft from your transducer, your waypoint will be 8 ft from the physical object you see.

For me, the big advantage of the Point-1 is the magnetic compass so the screen cursor always points in the direction the boat is facing – not in the direction you’re drifting/traveling. That’s very nice when precision fishing structure/cover in deep water.

Talked to the Lowrance guys at the sportsman show yesterday. They said each unit must be connected to the nema network to use it. It will not network thru the Ethernet.
