I sold mine a few years back, mainly because I was upgrading to 24V anyway, and thought a MinnKota would do a similar job.

Motorguide did continue to use the depth tracking feature for a while, then dropped it.

Guess they are sitting on the patent.

I did! You would be paying the freight. Did you notice the thread is a bit old? Cheers!

At the time I press goto, I have tried both with the prop spinning and not spinning (saw in other forums this might be an issue). I do see the iPilot on the display and I can control it (raise, lower, change speed, direction etc) so I know that it is networked correctly. Hoping its something simple I'm overlooking. I have the SmartStrike Lakemaster chip for MN installed.
What happens is you need to wait for the networked devices to sync up with each other.

I have video showing exactly that. I made this for the purpose of showing what the Minn Kota heading sensor actually does, but you will also see how I wait for the network to sync before Follow The Contour comes up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF1H...1m1I_m7_mMt-kd

Default Updated Software 3.360

Bird has new solix software out that is said to address the Crazy Ivan. Only time will tell, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
