Connecting Two Compatible ECHOMAP Devices to Share User Data and Sonar
You can connect an ECHOMAP™ UHD2 6/7/9 sv device to another ECHOMAP UHD2 device or to a ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device to share user data and sonar wirelessly.
User data is shared automatically between the two devices while they are connected. Sonar sharing may require you to select a sonar source (Sonar Sharing).
To connect the two devices, you must designate one device as the host and the other device as the client. You can only connect two compatible ECHOMAP devices at a time. The host device can be connected to other wireless devices like your phone or tablet while it is connected with the client device.
- Ensure the two compatible ECHOMAP devices are within range, 32 m (105 ft.), and turn on both devices.
- On the compatible ECHOMAP device that will host the network, set up the Wi‑Fi® network (Setting Up the Wi‑Fi Network).
-
On the compatible
ECHOMAP host device, select
> Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On > Host > Pair Chartplotter > Start.
-
On the compatible
ECHOMAP client device, select
> Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On > Client > Pair Host > Start.
- Select OK after devices connect successfully.
To unpair the devices and remove the wireless credentials so they do not attempt to connect in the future, on the client device select
> Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Unpair.
If you cannot connect the two devices, troubleshoot the connection and try again (Troubleshooting the Wireless Connection).
