    Default Ultrex GPS question


    I have the new Ultrex with iPilot Link networked to a Helix 10 G2N at the console and an 858c at the bow. My external GPS sensor for the 858 isn't connecting. Is there a way thru networking to utilize the Ultrex Heading Sensor GPS sensor with the 858? When I go to the networking tab on the menu, it doesn't offer it as an option for GPS.

    The trolling motor GPS and unit GPS cannot be shared.

    Was the external GPS connecting to the 858 before the network was created ...??

    Which model is the external GPS antenna ...??

    The Heading Sensor is only for direction "jog feature" on the new i-Pilot system. It can not be shared as a "GPS antenna" to any graph.

    Check your connection on the 858/GPS antenna. Sometimes it is the simplest of things causing the issue.
