    As Rickie stated ... There has never been map sharing ..... regardless of the software revision on the 1199.....The Tech gave you bad information.....Unfortunately a lot of people selling this stuff don't know much about it.
    Did you have the Lakemaster chip in the 1199 last year?

    The only Humminbird units that will do map sharing is the Onix .....and maybe the Ion but I'm not up to speed on it.

    The lakemaster chip was in last year ...all last year all units showed map of the lake and contours...so this info WAS being shared. I don't know if I'm not communicating in the right terminology or what...but last year ALL units were showing lake map with contours and waypoints. The only thing showing on the 2 999's are the waypoints...no lake map showing on the 2 999's. Something has changed since the update, I'm trying to figure out what.

    Maybe when you went to default to download the new update it changed one of your settings. Probably still their just under a different setting.
    Be safe and good luck fishing

    I'm perplexed about what may have changed with the software update .... maybe some setting in mapping?.......but I have never seen anyone report any map sharing capabilities on the 99 series....just transducer, GPS, and waypoints.

    If you have the original software revision you could go back to it and see what changes......I ALWAYS make sure I have a path back. If you don't have it, you should be able to get it from Humminbird if you give them a call.

    Bob, I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy 2 more chips...I use the lake map on the bow to get to our waypoints and fish contours and I have the unit on the stern for my wife to see anything she wants, so the heck with it I'll buy 2 more chips and be done.
    Thanks for your help.
