Minn Kota Announcement

[HookItBait]

Minn Kota introduces new product at ICAST 2012 called I-Pilot Link. Minn Kota has integrated their iPilot trolling motors, which use GPS navigation to automatically guide your trolling motor, with select Humminbird depthfinders. Now you can control your trolling motor through your fishfinder in addition to the remote control.I’m only going to share two new features. One is called GoTo – you can select stored data (Spot-Lock location, waypoint, or trolling paths), and the trolling motor will automatically take you there. Plus you can control the speed you travel as well. The seconed feature is called “Follow The Contour” (available only with Lake Master maps) – you can select a contour depth on your map via your Humminbird, and the trolling motor will automatically follow it in any
direction you wish

Great now I gotta spend more money lol, I sure hope the 858DI that I have is compatible. Although I was kinda wanting to upgrade anyway.

Where did this info come from. We were speculating over on the BBC and this is exactly what I guessed.

I was just thinking about this yesterday. Was gonna post and ask if anyone had heard anything because I remember this being discussed over a year ago . This is the first I've heard of it since. I'm wondering if they have the birds and outboards ready to display all the engine readings yet with the hb acting as the instrument panel??
