Using iTracks with Bluetooth i-Pilot Link (2017-2023)

The i-Pilot Link system can be used to record sets of points that make up an iTrack. When recording an iTrack, i-Pilot starts to record GPS position data in the form of Track Points. The very first Track Point recorded is called the Start, and the last point recorded is called the End. i-Pilot sees a recorded series of Track Points as an iTrack. iTracks can be recorded and navigated. When the Go To iTrack Button is pressed, an iTrack can be navigated To Start or To End. i-Pilot will navigate to the nearest Track Point and then navigate to the Track Point requested. Once the nearest Track Point is reached, it will then follow the Track Points in sequence back to either the Start or End based on the selection made. Once the Start or End is reached, i-Pilot automatically transitions to the set Arrival Mode. During iTrack navigation, i-Pilot takes control over all steering functions; speed can be manually controlled or the Cruise Control function can also be used. The motor speed must be set high enough in order to stay on the track given wind, current and other external forces.

iTrack Arrival Modes

The Arrival Mode is a setting that helps to control what i-Pilot Link does once certain navigation modes are complete. Arrival Mode affects Go To functions for iTracks, Waypoints and Routes. Arrival Mode also affects navigating Routes. The Arrival Mode will take over once the navigational feature has completed.
i-Pilot Link has four Arrival Modes:

• Off - Once the boat has completed navigating the iTrack, the Prop will turn off. Off is the default Arrival Mode.
• Spot-Lock - After the boat has completed navigating the iTrack, the system will go into Spot-Lock at the point where the navigation is completed.
• AutoPilot - Once the boat has completed navigating the iTrack, it will continue navigating in AutoPilot in the final direction the boat was navigating.
• Auto Deploy Talon - Available as an option only when the i-Pilot System is paired with a Talon. After the boat has completed navigating, the system will deploy the Talon. If i-Pilot is paired with two Talons, the action to Auto Deploy Talon will control both Talons.
