Gen 2 has Bluetooth capabiliy and a separate GPS puck that mounts on the back of the boat to allow for the jog function and a more accurate fixed position. Just don't try to use it under a bridge. It also allows control with a smart phone which is great when the remote batteries die or you need your partner to drive briefly.
