i particularly like having the option of the "old" style for slipping along structure horizontally to the wind with the bow pointed away from the structure. this is only possible using the compass-based setting to control boat positioning without it also trying to change boat orientation as you drift along. it slows you down and allows for parallel presentations that cover the entire break.
This is exactly what I was talking about in my question. You can do this in the MotorGuide if you turn off the GPS based Heading Lock, but I think you will be constantly adjusting the position of the trolling motor. Otherwise I like everything better about the MG but this part, and it is this "minor detail" that might keep me from switching. |
