If you don't have I Pilot get it.
It is by far the best fishing tool ever created.



That's a pretty big statement. Unless I'm missing something I-Pilot is just a convenience feature. The same things it does can be accomplished with a Fortrex, good depthfinder/GPS, and paying attention.


Or am I missing something?
You are missing something. Try taking your foot off the fortrex and have your trolling motor automatically keep you in a precise spot or follow a previously recorded trail.

IMO, go with the Ipilot and skip the Ilink. I dont really see too much benefit to the ILink personally since the mapping is not 100% accurate in the first place.
Secondly depending on where the GPS antennae is located in respect to your transducer it will be even less accurate. Case in point, if you have an external puck mounted away from your bowmount and are using a GPS mounted near the bowmount with a US2 sonar, it will be off more than if using internal GPS (or puck) mounted near the trolling motor using US2.
