Just announced at ICAST '12
www.humminbird.com/ipilotlink/
www.minnkotamotors.com/ipilotlink/
Links certain MinnKota trolling motors with Humminbird ethernet-connected GPS units that have a specific LakeMaster mapping chip included - allows the TM to follow a specific contour or a contour-offset. No mention of being able to setup a route or track on the fishfinder / GPS and having the TM follow that track - that would seem to be more the killer feature for our use and I can't imagine it would be hard to implement once the rest of these pieces are in place.
Has a big honking remote with LCD.....the iPilot one is too big - this one is crazy. They really need to let you use the little remote AND the main remote.
