I was looking at the new Lowrance HDS fishfinders and noticed you can connect multiple units via ethernet connection. That's super but could a person connect a seperate LCD monitor to the main fishfinder to display what's on the screen? Here's a link to the HDS-5 specs: http://www.lowrance.us/Products/Mar...-5-FishfinderGPS-Chartplotter/Specifications/
If not possible with the Lowrance, is there another type, Humminbird maybe, that it can be done with?
Ideally, what i'd like is to have a single, good quality GPS/Fishfinder mounted at the console with a much cheaper ($25-$50), small LCD screen mounted up on the front deck instead of having to buy two seperate $600 units. Make sense?
