Navigation Controls
-
Spot-Lock
- Tap to create and start navigation to a temporary Spot-Lock position. The Spot-Lock will be recorded temporarily until you tap Save.
- The Advanced GPS Navigation Go To features including Spot-Lock Locations, i-Tracks, Waypoints, or Routes can be accessed only through the Advanced GPS Navigation Full Size Wireless Remote or a connected Humminbird fish finder with Motor Sync turn “On”. Currently, the Go To functionality for Spot-Lock Locations, i-Tracks, Waypoints and Routes is not part of the One-Boat Network App.
- Note: Up to 20 Spot-Lock or Waypoint locations can be recorded and up to 20 iTracks can be recorded and saved to the trolling motor, from the Advanced GPS Navigation Wireless Remote, the One-Boat Network App in Motor Controls or a connected Humminbird fishfinder. If the trolling motor is not connected to a Humminbird fish finder, a Wireless Remote must be used to engage and navigate the Go To data. Once the storage is full in the Advanced GPS Navigation system, the remote will display a Storage Full error screen. See Restoring My Data in the Owner’s Manual on how to delete some or all data to save more locations in the Advanced GPS Navigation system.
- If the Advanced GPS Navigation equipped trolling motor is connected to a Humminbird fish finder with Motor Sync “On” and the storage becomes full, the remote will display a notification and the data will be forwarded and saved to the connected Humminbird fish finder. This data can be engages and navigated through the Go To function on the fish finder. Waypoints saved on the One-Boat Network App in Chart View map do not transfer to Advanced GPS Navigation system or show on the Full Size Wireless Remote.

Motor Settings
-
Go To
- Tap to start one of the following navigation modes: Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, or Drift.
- When Spot-Lock is engaged, tap to Cancel Navigation or Save Spot-Lock.
- When AutoPilot or Drift are engaged, tap to Cancel Navigation, Adjust Course, or Reverse Navigation.

Currently, the Go To functionality for Spot-Lock Locations, i-Tracks, Waypoints and Routes is not part of the One-Boat Network App.
-
AutoPilot Mode
- Tap to select the AutoPilot mode: Locked Heading or Locked Course.
- Locked Heading uses an internal compass to provide a heading lock. It keeps the motor pointed in the same compass direction. If a manual steering correction is made, this mode locks onto the new compass heading to which the boat was steered.
- Locked Course not only uses compass heading but also GPS data to correct for cross winds, current and other external forces to keep the boat on the intended course. This mode generates a set of GPS points in a straight track line in the heading direction.
-
Arrival Mode
- This setting controls what Advanced GPS Navigation does once certain navigation modes are complete. Arrival Mode affects Go To functions for iTracks, waypoints, routes and Spot-Locks. There are four arrival modes
- Prop Off: Once navigation is finished, the Prop will turn off. You must be prepared to take manual control of the boat.
- Spot-Lock: After the boat has completed navigation, the system will create and engage a Spot-Lock.
- AutoPilot: Once navigation is finished, the system will continue navigating in AutoPilot in the final direction the boat was navigating.
- Auto Deploy Raptor/Talon: After the boat has completed navigation, the system will deploy the Raptor/Talon.
-

- When Prop Auto-On is turned off, you must start the propeller manually each time you select an Advanced GPS Navigation mode. However, this menu does not apply to SpotLock, Cruise Control or Drift Mode. These navigation modes will turn on the propeller as soon as they are engaged, regardless of the Prop Auto-On setting.

Adjusting the Boat Scale with One Boat Network App
Adjust Boat Scale Trolling motor performance can be impacted by factors including, but not limited to, wind, water conditions, boat specifications, battery health, wiring, etc. Boat Scale provides a method of adjusting how the trolling motor will perform to account for these and other variables. The Minn Kota trolling motor comes from the factory with Boat Scale set to zero. This can be adjusted either up (+2) or down (-2) to increase or decrease the way the motor control software will apply power while using a navigation mode like Spot Lock.
An example of needing to reduce Boat Scale would be when the motor is over correcting or making many frequent adjustments while using Spot-Lock. In this case, try reducing Boat Scale -1 to reduce this behavior. If the behavior continues, reduce Boat Scale to -2. The opposite of this would be while using Spot-Lock, the motor is drifting away from its target location frequently or is struggling to make corrections. In this case, try increasing Boat Scale to +1 to help improve the motor’s accuracy. If the behavior continues, increase Boat Scale to +2. 1. Tap Motor from the Home screen to access the Motor view. 2. Tap the Menu icon in the top, right corner to open Motor Settings. 3. In the Motor Settings menu, find and tap Setup and Calibration. 4. In Setup and Calibration, use the slider under Boat Scale to adjust the Boat Scale from -2 to +2.
- Tap Motor from the Home screen to access the Motor view.
- Tap the Menu icon in the top, right corner to open Motor Settings.
- In the Motor Settings menu, find and tap Setup and Calibration.
- In Setup and Calibration, use the slider under Boat Scale to adjust the Boat Scale from -2 to +2.
Stow Orientation
- Tap Motor from the Home screen to access the Motor view.
- Tap the Menu icon in the top, right corner to open Motor Settings.
- In the Motor Settings menu, find and tap Setup and Calibration
- In Setup and Calibration, find and tap Stow Orientation.
