I want to be able to talk back and forth between the two. Am I asking too much?

Just wondering what anyone has heard about the two units getting together.

Wouldnt that be great?

A little at a time man. They don't make as much if they give it to all once :p

Supposedly Kevin Van Dam has a prototype on his boat right now that does just what you were talking about. I heard this unofficially from a Humminbird guy that was doing a Bass Pro thing. I was asking the same thing because I was inquiring about buying a 1198 and told him this should be able to talk to my Ipilot. He said don't count on it for few years, but its in the works.

Ok so I have to wait, man that stinks. I wonder if I was to buy an I pilot now with it be able to be retrofitted. I know know just brain storming. Oh well
