Mine are connected by ethernet. But they each see their own puck.

Learning the ethernet setting has give me more problems than anything else.maybe if i uncheck the box for the new gps the old gps will show on the network?

I dont need the old gps,but i like to no i could use it if i had to

I'm going out tomorrow, will see if the console unit will use the bow mount puck.

Had an interesting evening yesterday when installed the new puck. The puck is about a foot and half from my trolling motor when in the stowed position. With the trolling motor up, my heading information was skewed. When I dropped the trolling motor, the heading corrected itself. Went out this morning to try and snap a photo of it doing this and it showed correct heading information with trolling motor up and down. Will continue to monitor.

Magnets in the motor or metal of the housing probably screwed the compass. Or maybe skewed the compass. You choice.
