How does the GPS on the I-Pilot read the info on the HB GPS? Is it using the transducer cabling in the I-Pilot? I did not think they were linked together.
SeaRay
It's hard to believe that for a starting price of $800 that they'll sell many of 'em....atleast to the crappie fishermen.:rolleyes: Maybe there's some hugh advantages of it but I dont see it.
I like the idea a lot, but to get a decent set up any more, you'll spend 10-15 grand with HB.
I was under the impression you had to have the pilot in conjunction with this new technology?? If it takes place of the I pilot then yes it would be alright. That lakemaster follow the contour is cool as HeckQuote:

If you’re fishing at a certain depth, i-Pilot Link can keep you on it automatically. With a LakeMaster SD card in your Humminbird, Link will follow any contour you choose—in either direction—for as long as you want.
*Follow The Contour feature available only on i-Pilot Link enabled LakeMaster Digital GPS Maps.

You can also stay a set distance from a depth contour or the shoreline by activating Contour Offset. Set your boat a certain distance from either a selected depth contour or the shoreline, and cast to it all day long.
Follow any LakeMaster® depth contour you choose, automatically, or cast to it from a set distance with Contour Offset.

Spot-Lock helps keep you within 5 feet of a fishing spot, like an electronic anchor. When your boat begins to drift more than 5 feet from your selected fishing spot, i-Pilot Link will take you back automatically. You can return to your spot later with Go To.
Go To Spot-Lock...Use Go To Spot-Lock to return to your spot, and lock back into it upon arrival.
Go To Waypoint...Return to a stored waypoint with Go To Waypoint. It automatically takes you to your select waypoint at any speed you choose, and upon arrival, you can go into Spot-Lock, AutoPilot™ or shut off the prop.

Never lose another successful trolling path. iTracks are paths in the water (up to 2 miles long) that you can store and retrace whenever you want.
Go To iTrack...Return to your stored tracks with Go To iTrack. It automatically takes you to the closest waypoint of your selected track, and lets you retrace the path in either direction.

Just set a heading by using your Humminbird cursor or pointing the motor head in the direction you want to travel. Then push a button and let i-Pilot Link keep you on that heading.
