    The New Chirp technology with spotlight scan may be an upgrade I look to in the next year or 2 once they get it to work with the Terrova which I was told they are working on now.

    You think HB is going to let lowrance stuff work on their trolling motor? I doubt it myself as they have market cornered right now. They might be able to make some features kind of work but when you get talking about ipilot link system there is no way they can pull that off with out minn kota letting them and that wont happen.

    Do you know what the Spotlight Scan is? How it works? I was told they are working on one to work with Electric Steer trolling motor (Terrova) I never said a thing about the I-Pilot link. Did I? That really does not interest me to any degree. Sorry if I stated it in a way to make you think something else.

    there was a story not long ago that lowrance is working with motor guide to make their equipment work together but dont know about HB I was trying to say that Im sure if anyone is going to try and make advancements on their systems I would think it would be for the top of the line which would be the link, I didnt mean to put words in your mouth Sorry.

    Are you familiar with the Spotlight Scan & Chirp technology, Sonar Hub, and how it works? Pretty top of the line but then so is the setup I have IMHO.

    Wonder if you can mark waypoints on the spotscan screen?

    I looked at the info on the point 1 GPS and it was very good giving your heading and precise location. Shout out to mean v

    I will also have 2 separate transducers (sonar & structure scan) at the bow and at the stern. I think the big advantage of the speed and accuracy of the Point 1 antennas would be lost to some degree if they were not located as close as possible to your respective transducers. Same goes for looking at structure scan at the bow that is being read at the stern.

    That is the reason I am going with a second box & structure scan transducer located with the Point 1 at the bow. Units are linked together only to share mapping cards & waypoints.

    They are both Gen2's I was told they will share a card. I will find out sometime, but was told they would by more than one source.
