A July press release from Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics begins, “Continuing the evolution of GPS trolling-motor navigation, Minn Kota’s i-Pilot Link utilizes GPS technology and ethernet connectivity to achieve new levels of boat control.”
The first generation of i-Pilots included the ability to record three GPS tracks (now called iTracks), each up to two miles long, and then pull your boat up or down them at your chosen speed. A Cruise Control feature let you set your speed down to a 10th of a mile per hour along an iTrack, while traveling in a compass direction set by AutoPilot or while following an arrow-straight string of GPS points laid out using Advanced AutoPilot.
For guys who fish a slow choppy in and out course on a repeat basis, this looks like something you'd work hard to afford.
I recall fishing certain Bar's and Guts for Halibut where I could have used this thing.
Rainbow Trout fishing in lakes with no landmarks stifking up it'd be a real boon.
