I-pilot link is certainly all its cracked up to be. At least for me. I use the follow the contour feature quite often on he lake I fish the most. If it's not to windy, I can fish the whole structure without touching the trolling motor.

Like I said, I can be talked into the I-link. If this is true, I am sold.

Scenario: You're fishing and notice the fish are tight to the weed edge and you note that it is at 8'. You go to your Humminbird and select Follow the Contour, but instead of following on top of it, you set a selected Contour Offset, say 40'. This will allow you to set the speed of the motor and then let the boat drive itself, keeping you a cast length away from the fish.
