HDS....
Hey mate, went through this one myself not too long ago.... The Furuno will only recieve the NMEA signal but as it uses TLL it will not transmit it back again to the other unit. It will take the info ftom the GPS but when you press mark and save waypoint it will onlysave to the 620, you have to manualy enter the co-ords into the GPS unit.
I have the 620 and matched it with a HDS-7... So far I really like the HDS so that would be my recomendation... There is a lot of info on this subject if you use search... good luck...
