    Far as I know, the MK Ilink works with MK trolling motors only, NOT MG motors. You would need a HB FF, MK trolling motor with I link head, and a Ilink compatible map card to do the "follow the contours"
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    From what I'm reading the MG doesn't have the "follow contours" feature, it needs a (trail) series of waypoints. UNLESS there has been a recent update.
