Okay, here we go.

1. Lowrance's new line of FF/chartplotters (HDS Carbon) says they have an internal gps antenna. If I network two of them together (console and front deck), which one will be the "master"? Can the internal GPS antenna be turned off and just take the data from one of the units?

2. Also, in the previous generations of FF/chartplotters (HDS Gen 3) installation of the GPS antenna was recommended as close as you could get it to the transducer, which meant on the rear deck, driver's side as far back as possible. With the new HDS Carbon, with internal antenna, there's going to be an offset of at least 5 feet from the transducer. Is there a method to enter the "offset" into the set-up of the HDS Carbon? Or would the best solution be to install the external GPS antenna for the best results.

3. Has anyone "previewed" the HDS Carbon? I'd like to know if the screen quality is better than the HDS Gen 3's enough to warrant the extra $ for the Carbon.

That's it for now, I'm sure I'll have more questions. I'm trying to figure if the HDS Carbon is worth the extra $ over the HDS Gen 3.
