Hi all
Just bought a Garmin 180 gps sounder map and a Garmin 240 blue fishfinder.
1 Can I connect both the sets so they can be used together and how?.
2 Is there freeware out there that I can use to download the information
from the sets so as I can store and edit or save the waypoints/routes ect.
on my home pc?.And how would a complete beginner do this.


There are several programs that will talk to Garmin receivers listed
on my GPS/NMEA site shown below.

You will not be able to connect both units to the same depth
transducer, but you may be able to use a switch to select one at a
time to the transducer.
