    It seems my current I-Pilot will do everything this thing is advertised to do with the exception of the contour following and being able to "go to" a waypoint stored in the GPS unit itself. I think I'll just stick with what I got.

    HB needs an on board WTR manager installed in the firmware to allow import and export of selected WTR files from the head unit via SD card. It is doable.

    If they had had this when I bought my Ipilot and Terrova, I would have considered it. Now that I have Ipilot and Terrova, don't see the justification to upgrade.
    Besides, right now, Lakemaster maps of the Tennessee River lakes ( Guntersville/Wheeler ) aren't too impressive.

    I am interested in hearing reviews from the early adopters of this and the 360.

    10-15K on HB is better than the 700-800k you would need for a decent lowrance setup. I mean an enthusiast might by 4 HDS 10 Gen2's, 4 LLS 2's, 4 LG 4000's, 4 heading sensors, 4 sonic hubs, 6 fuel flow monitors, 40 ft boat to put it all on, lake house with boat house and lift to store it and you still do not get 360 or i pilot link.

    Sorry just could not resist.

    Joking aside, I want one, I have i pilot now and when I can afford it I will buy it.
    I have been thinking a lot about the contour following. It seems on a navionics map you could mark waypoints along a contour and them connect them into an itrack for the new unit to follow. Then to run an offset just zoom in to desired offset and eye ball the scale off of the contour line while marking way points then connect those to have an offset i track.
