the spot lock feature is interesting.
I like the advertised features, but, what do you do if the remote is lost? Will it still operate as a conventional TM?

The vid says "when the TM moves 5ft from it's position, then, the TM comes on to move back to it's marked position"....
I wonder...does the TM come on at 10% power....50 % power...100% power?
This gadget would seem to have to read the wind also to get itself back to position with different wind speeds....
Still...the concept is very interesting.....
If it does as stated, I will get one. I am a sucker for gadgets.:oQuote:

I would bet that they have an algorithm based on the less than a meter gps waypoint input. I would also bet that the TM want hold the same position, that it would hold positions relative to the imaginary waypoint circle and respond to water and wind conditions based on the circle. Just guessing.Quote:

I was trying to find out how many spot-locks it would hold but no luck.
I read the link Bill. Don't look like you can use a pc to download a track. Bummer. Looks like you gotta go make a dry run before you fish.
Hey Tom, do these gadgets come with a cloth or leather La-Z-Boy recliner?:eek:
