Minn kota ipilot, is it worth it?

[NJSquatch]

I pilot link requires a network compatible humminbird sonar unit Ethernet cables and a lakemaster card. Only to be able to follow a contour. $$$$ for something that can be accomplished by recording a track.

I have been looking to upgrade too but the motors are sold out everywhere and are not shipping the heading sensor or the full function remote.

Fishing buddies have ipilot units and spotlock is awesome in open water and for trolling. If u like to fish around docks and shallow structure they can be a handful and require alot of work using the remote. and detract from fishing.
