This may sound odd, but do any of you run separate units in your boat for Sonar/Stucture Scan and GPS Chartplotting?
Reason I ask, is I am looking at re doing my boats finders, I really need to add GPS / Chartplotting functionality.
So I am wondering if I put a pair of HDS in the back, one always running GPS, and the other is running depth and imaging, are there any problems or features I lose versus running on one unit?
Reason I ask is if I do a HDS-7 for sonar use and a HDS-5 for GPS I wind up with more usable space on screen and I save about $1000 over a 10" model. It also gives me the ability to have a backup unit in case one loses its mind.
So I am wondering if any of you chose to run multiple units instead of the split screens on one?

Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
