Ready to learn all about i-Pilot Link? Check out this free instructional webinar which will help you to appreciate all of the ways that i-Pilot Link can be used for navigation and boat control,...

The i-Pilot Link control head stores up to 16 Spot Lock locations and 16 iTracks. I do not believe that these are stored in the remote.

There is no cross-compatibility between components of the i-Pilot Link system and previous i-Pilot generations. Older remotes will not control i-Pilot Link, and the i-Pilot Link remote will not drive...

Spot Lock locations and iTracks are stored on the Humminbird fish finder. They can be downloaded and saved to SD cards just like waypoints and routes can.

Well done, Doug!

Here's an example of how I use the Spot Lock feature of i-Pilot Link. This video is really about fall crappie fishing, but all of the boat control is courtesy of the i-Pilot Link...

I think you'll find that using i-Pilot, whether i-Pilot Link or one of the previous generations of systems, is VERY intuitive. After using it for a few weeks, you'll instantly start thinking of other...

Yes. When you are using a feature that includes i-Pilot control of steering, any manual steering input will bump you out of that i-Pilot feature.

Likewise, when you are using a feature in which...

Providing manual steering input will knock i-Pilot Link out of Follow the Contour mode. If you did so, you would need to reactivate Follow the Contour by selecting the desired contour and direction...

The LED backlighting on the new 998 SI HD unit is a significant improvement over the screen brightness of current 998s.

If it were me, I'd hold out for an HD unit!

Sorry to disappear for so long, guys.

Maybe this will make up for my absence. Check out this video for some great fall walleye (and tank smallmouth!) fishing with i-Pilot Link:

Great fall...

Who's ready to Follow the Contour? See this highly anticipated feature being used to target some early fall transition crappies in this short video:

How to use i-Pilot Link's Follow the Contour...

Remember guys, there is (currently) only 1 feature in i-Pilot Link that requires a 2013 LakeMaster chip...Follow the Contour. Every single other i-Pilot Link feature works with an older LakeMaster...

Sure are! I have a number of projects just waiting to be edited. In the coming days, we'll see videos on:

> The various ways that the Go To feature can be used
> Using Go To waypoint for deep...

Only 2013 and later LakeMaster chips will contain the code to be able to use the Follow the Contour feature of i-Pilot Link. These chips are not yet available to the public.

Those 2013 and later...

Thanks for posting the link to the BackTrack video. I've been so busy fishing lately that I forgot to let you guys know that it was ready to go!

More coming later this week as well. We'll be...

Hey Doug, I even tagged a big smallmouth (and a half dozen little shavers) today while using i-Pilot Link's Spot Lock feature....if you're willing to drive up here and catch a few of them, I'll give...

1. Yes. All recorded tracks and Spot Lock locations are transmitted to the Humminbird fish finder and can be displayed or selected there.

2. There is no separate download step. When you record an...

1. There is no cross-compatibility between i-Pilot Link and any current i-Pilot model. You would need to purchase a new accessory package that includes a new head unit, new remote, and networking...

Here's a real-world screen shot from my trip yesterday afternoon....barely 18 hours ago. I was fishing wingdams on the upper Mississppi River (Pool 4, near Wabasha MN), in advance of a cold front...

Absolutely. Once route navigation has been started (you've selected one waypoint or other position and pressed Go To), i-Pilot Link assumes that all other positions that the user selects should be...

I believe the answer to this question is also yes. I will check on that and confirm.

Doug, the answer to your question is yes. Speed is completely adjustable from the pedal or the remote while following a route.

The next entry in our i-Pilot Link field test video series is now available:

Users of i-Pilot systems are familiar with i-Pilot's ability to record and replay a track. i-Pilot Link takes this...

The only time that I have encountered a default prop speed is when using the Go To function for a Spot Lock location. In that case, the default prop speed = 10.

All other Go To functions that I...

Allow me to add that when following an iTrack or a user defined route (or using Go To for waypoints, iTracks, routes, or contours), the user determines the prop power/speed that is used. If you use...
