[QUOTE="thill, post: 509171, member: 4972"] Ah, now we are getting some good discussion. Thanks for that summary, Ray Clark. That was a good, detailed write-up and the ProNav sounds like a nice unit. I now remember why I didn't go with the Pro Nav- it was the price tag. When I was first looking, it was similar or more than the Minn Kota version and was similar to buying a used trolling motor with I-pilot. Then someone here sent me to Trollingmotorparts.com, and that pushed me over the edge. This is the I-pilot Bluetooth kit I'm getting for the Spectrum's Terrova: [URL='https://trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-riptide-terrova-i-pilot-upgrade-kit-bluetooth/']trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-riptide-terrova-i-pilot-upgrade-kit-bluetooth/[/URL] And this is the one I already bought for the big Riptide Powerdrive on my center console: [URL='https://trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-riptide-powerdrive-i-pilot-kit-bluetooth/']trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-riptide-powerdrive-i-pilot-kit-bluetooth/[/URL] Both are less than $500 from this site. So I could upgrade TWO of my boats to I-Pilot with bluetooth for less than $1,000. That's definitely worth it. I didn't get the Link version, since I don't run Hummingbirds. From what I can understand, the Bluetooth feature makes is possible to run from a phone or tablet. This is what I'm interested in learning more about. I haven't installed mine yet, but I've heard that the optional heading sensor is something I want to get to prevent the pinwheeling spot lock. [/QUOTE]
