the spot lock feature is interesting.

I like the advertised features, but, what do you do if the remote is lost? Will it still operate as a conventional TM?

Tom ive watched that video serveral times.....I know this is your strong field gidgets & gadgets :D

What is your opinion.....is this goin to be worth $400-$500?

The vid says "when the TM moves 5ft from it's position, then, the TM comes on to move back to it's marked position"....

I wonder...does the TM come on at 10% power....50 % power...100% power?

This gadget would seem to have to read the wind also to get itself back to position with different wind speeds....

Still...the concept is very interesting.....

If it does as stated, I will get one. I am a sucker for gadgets.:o

JeffW and I talked about building such a device a few years ago. I wasn't smart enough to figure it out.

I would bet that they have an algorithm based on the less than a meter gps waypoint input. I would also bet that the TM want hold the same position, that it would hold positions relative to the imaginary waypoint circle and respond to water and wind conditions based on the circle. Just guessing.

Here's a little more info: MinnKota I-Pilot information at IDOfishing.com
I was trying to find out how many spot-locks it would hold but no luck.
