    How many guys in here actually pair their sonar with trolling motor and use the track features etc?

    Been thinking lowrance/motor guide for that purpose……..but…..
    To be truthful I am not sure I would even use more then the anchor or spot lock mode.

    Thanks for all the input.

    I have a Minn Kota I-pilot link and HBs.
    I often use the follow contour feature and I have a dozen or so recorded tracks that I use.

    Hmmm I See.
    I see a lot of guys going with garmin and minkota. So I thought maybe all the track features were not used much.
    Thanks

    I have had my xi5 linked to my gen3’s on my last 2 boats. I like it for seeing my prop % or setting cruise control and touching a spot on the screen when in anchor mode.

    I have the motor guide/lowrance set up on my boat and use the feature once in awhile. I have been moving along and mark fish or structure while I am moving. I can scroll back on the screen to the marked fish/structure and hit the GO TO button on the Lowrance and it will have my trolling motor take me back. I have used it a few times for getting me back to a spot where I was catching fish and left the spot to search for another spot, then came back later. I like it even though I don’t use it much.

    Thank you guys!!
    It would seem that having the units tied together over not would be smarter so it’s there if I ever have a need to use the features.

    Sounds Good to me.
    Thanks again

    Wouldn’t live without having my Xi5 tied to my lowrance… The go-to waypoint function is priceless… And my bowmountlift of course….
