Yes the Navionics HotMaps Premium mapping card will work in both the 1197 and 1198 units. You will only be able to view the map card in one unit at a time though and I would caution you against using data from a map card for high-speed navigation as the real world can change while the map data for that river/lake may not have been up to date or may be inaccurate which could put you and others in danger.
Why buy an 1197 and an 1198 unit? Why not get two 1198 units?

Will see what kind of deal I Can get.... I know what your saying. Thanks So much for your response!

I too would recommend going with an 1198 rather than an 1197.
The 1197 is getting too old now, and radar won't work with it,
and maybe the 360 won't work with it.
The 1198 is supposed to have a faster processor and a clearer screen
in sunlight.
Good Luck.

+2 to ITG...
2 - 1198's is the way to go.....
HB has sent the 1197 to legacy land and we probably will not see much for its future enhancement opportunities..
