I was looking into purchasing a HDS 5 to put on the TM and link to my HDS 8 at the console through my LSS-1. Are there any suprises/complications I should know about doing this? Any recommendations from someone who has this setup now? Aslo I suppose I will have to purchase additional map cards for each unit correct? Also what are the opinions onthe HDS 5? is the screen size going to be adequate enough to see structure detail?
The system will auto configure. I have 7 and 8 linked. No problems. If you use 2 different 2d transducers, uncheck network sonar.

I'd rather spend the money on more screen size than mapping. You can always add the maps at a later time if you feel you need to.
I have an HDS8 now at the console and really like it especially the 4split screens. I have the same reservation over th HDS5 whether the screen will be big enough or not? I think I am correct in saying that the HDS5 and HDS7 will only show 3 screens at one time.
Yes, shows 3 but I usually only run 2 on the 7
