Humminbird Helix

Guys I made a small mistake kinda.
I fish out of a bass boat but alot of my fishing
Is in a ultraskiff 360 love this little boat.
I purchased a humminbird gen 3 mega Si. Non networking model.
I have two transducers one for round boat, 1 for bass boat.
My question is, my next purchase will be a 360 networking model . Then a networking counsel model. I cant afford the big screens. So plan is once outfit bass boat with networking model and 360 network model i will keep my non network model at home for my ultraskiff boat, but in occasional tournies was wondering if i could use
My non network model as a maping device only
Without transducer hooked up?

The other reason i ask is if im a back seater
Would like to bring my unit with just for mapping
And saved gps, some guys i fish with dont use humminbird and so i don't want to convert all my juice spots from humminbird format to say gpx and give guy all my spots...where as if i just provide power im hoping can use unit without a transducer

I could be wrong, but, in the early days, the units required GPS pucks, now, I believe Humminbird puts them on one of the cables. As long as the gps porition isn't on the transducer cable, I don't see why the GPS wouldn't work without the sonar transducer.
