Do you go to a favorite restaurant, read the whole menu, but always order the same dish? That's what's happening to my i-Pilot's track-recording feature. I think about ways to use it, but always bypass the track recorder in favor of spot-lock (the best crappie fishing tool invented since the brush pile!) I do very little long line trolling & maybe that's the whole answer, but I'd like to know how other i-P owners use the track record/playback feature to improve their crappie catching.
