depthfinder/gps idea?

My new boat has a Lowrance depthfinder/gps on the console and a good
depthfinder on the front. Each has its own tranducer.

I had a thought last week - I know, a rarity for me - while fishing. I was
fishing a brush pile and had not put out a marker so I was having a tough time
staying on it. I wished my front depthfinder was paired with the one on the
console so it would show the waypoint icon for the brush pile.

Would you buy a pair of depthfinders/gps that worked together? One could be a
slave to the other, or both could work off a central unit under the console,
maybe. Seems you would only need one tranducer and one antenna for the pair.

I woulder how hard it would be to do this - how much more it would cost. I can
turn my console unit so I can see it while on the trolling motor, but it
would be nice to have both work together and to be able to put in waypoints
from either.

I think I will send this to Lowrance. What do you think?
