    AS GPS Heading Sensor?

    I'm installing an Ultrex MDI/I Pilot-Link, I already have the HB heading sensor installed, With The Minn Kota heading sensor, do I need to install it, If not what will I lose with not having the Blue tooth option?

    It is for the Jogging feature when Spotlocked.

    I have both the Ultrex puck and the HB AS GPS heading senor installed. I don't use jog very often, but I do use "follow the contour" a lot. If I eliminated the Ultrex puck, would that feature be inoperable?

    Jog feature is very nice. I use the remote a lot and can move the boat around with ease.

    FTC just follows the contour line. The heading sensors are not part of that, just GPS and the map.
