Can someone verify for me if the puck is heading only or position as well. I see a lot of people mounting the puck behind the drivers seat and curious if it being closer to the bow will improve on accuracy or not.
Thanks

iPilot is GPS inside the top of the motor. The separate puck is a Heading Sensor that talks to the iPilot via Bluetooth.
The Heading Sensor (compass) just needs to tell the iPilot direction for the Jogging feature. It can be just about anywhere that is not affected by ferrous metals, magnets, or high current and the Bluetooth signal can get to the iPilot.

Thanks Wayne. I assumed that was the case but other comments I’ve read about location made me wonder if it had another function other than heading.

That's a sweet option. One less magnet to worry about finding a location for on the boat.

Think he’s saying you can use the Ultrex heading sensor for the HB gps as an option. Believe you still need the heading sensor installed and calibrated to use jog feature on Ultrex
I do like the jog feature when fishing deep structure.
