It seems that the console 899 unit does not pick up all the waypoints that I mark with the 859 while spidder rigging. But, I don't usually leave the 899 unit on when I am actually fishing.

Do both units have to be turned on for marked waypoints to show on both units? If not, what might be causing waypoints not to show up on both units- besides the cable not being connected tightly between the units.

Thx
The 899 unit would have to be powered on to share the waypoints. The waypoints are written to the other unit via Ethernet .... they are shared.
You can export the waypoints from 1 unit and bring them in to the other. The best way to do that is by using Humminbird PC to examine and merge them first to make sure there are no duplicates.
