iPilot is GPS/Heading standalone.
iPilot LINK is GPS/Heading that can be linked to Humminbird units ONLY via Ethernet. That adds Follow-the-Contour with Lakemaster HD mapping from the Humminbird.
There are three built-in transducers types.
US2 is Universal Sonar at 83/200 kHz and is adaptable to several sonar brands for 2D sonar ONLY.
MDI is MEGA Down Imaging with HW CHIRP 2D sonar and only works with Humminbird units.
MSI is MEGA Side Imaging with MEGA Down Imaging and HW CHIRP 2D sonar, and only works with Humminbird units.

I bought the one with the US2 built in for this reason. The US2 was the smallest built in transducer and looked like the only one that would leave enough room for an external transducer. I'm running a humminbird Helix now but was worried that I may change to Garmin in the future and wanted to be able to install the transducer at that time. I wish they sold a model without built in sonar and I would've bought that one and not had that extra unused cable to deal with...
