I am running a lowrance hds 8 gen2 but have a spare lcx111. I want to run both use the hds for sonar. And use the lcx for the map. I know my hds has the internal gps and lcx needs an external gps. Am I able to use the gps from the hds to run the lcx? What would the proper setup be to run both units using the lcx for mapping?

I have basically the same set up, HDS9 Gen3 and a LCX111CHD. You cannot "link" or network the 2 together. The LCX does not have an ethernet port to network the 2 together. I'm using my HDS9 for mapping and using the LCX for sonar only but have the external puck for a back up. Not sure connectors are on the back of the Gen2's, but the Gen3's and LCX are both blue and can use the same transducer.
