I have a hummingbird 798 CI that I have mounted on the front of my boat I want to just use this for the mapping program as I have purchased a new helix 9 to mount  at the front as well. Do I have to have a transducer mounted to the 798 to get it to function out of simulation mode.

You do not have to have transducer connected, I use my 798 si up front for map only, have the GPS puck connected and interlinked to the dash unit to share weigh points, there is a setting, for gps only in the menu, when I get a chance later in the week will hook up and tell you the steps, but works well for me. I am running a lowrance for my sonar.

Go to set up menu, turn sonar off worked for me.
