Minn Kota Advanced GPS vs I-Pilot.. What's The Difference?

[@AlldoneFirst]

Thank you for this video. Finally a decent explanation.

[@dwightcassidy7056]

Love for you to give a in depth look at the Advance GPS Remote

[@marmac2768]

Well, thank you for the video!! I just bought my Terrova and will get it installed in the next few days. I'm pretty excited about this, but I am not sure, at the age of 65, I'll get all of that tech stuff going. I wish I could have found one that was a few years older and saved some money, but this is what Bass Pro Shops has so I got it. I know that I will LOVE Auto Pilot because I had a Minn Kota in the mid 90's that had Auto Pilot. The main reason that I wanted to get this motor is the Auto Pilot. After reading and seeing some others, I am excited about the Spot Lock. That will be very useful for me as well. After I get it installed, I'll head down to my "watering hole" and start trying to learn. It will be a challenge, but I hope that I'll be able to use it to the fullest. Thanks.

spot lock will be your favorite feature and the jog feature to move it around the area with a tap of the arrows

[@patrickethier6190]

Thanks for your honest opinion.

[@JM4UBBY]

Do you have any thoughts on Drift mode? Do you believe it's worth the extra money for buying a 2024 version of Ultrex vs a older model with Ipilot Link?

[@williamtennill6744]

Question , I have a micro remote, how do I calibrate my spot lock without the screen? Or can I upgrade? I have one boat network but have not downloaded the app on my phone

[@MC-qg5nu]

Will the new terrova advanced gps systems connect to the 2017+ i-pilot remotes? You mentioned they do work with the mini.

[@user-yt2nj8kc7q]

Most useful explanation of Minn Kota advanced features, keep up the good work

[@jayshadburn1778]

Thank you for this!,!

[@tdavis145]

So can we upgrade our existing ipilot with the new advanced gps

[@524Windows]

Is there a way to make the minkota edge like these ? It has a pedal steering but would like to get spot lock

[@KenMFNCason]

I’m wondering if this will work on a river when your bumping for catfish. Your floating backwards in a boat and using the trolling motor to slow you down. If you pick a route on the map, it tries to PULL the river. I’m needing to float backwards on a specified route, and just have the trolling motor keep me on the route I chose, at a specified speed. I’m hoping this will do that. Basically pick a route on my chart, let the river current take me downstream and have the trolling motor keep me on the specified route, and slow me down to the speed I want to be at. If the river is flowing 5mph I want to be floating down it at 1.5mph.

[@rattletrap5018]

So just to clarify, Minn Kota trolling motors are no longer made with iPilot and only sold with advanced GPS, for 2024 and on?

[@peterhavlicek3852]

Hi guys, Im a bit new to it…and bought new 2024 model terrova with built in i-pilot. I ordered i-pilot remote version but had delivered from Germany gps advance pilot. Am I loosing here and need complaint or should I keep it? What’s the price difference also? Thanks in advance for advice 💪🏽

[@zoomzoomgt]

Sooooo cant use this with a garmin finder?

[@C_H_U_]

To sum it up it’s an addition the the link model by adding drift mode + dodge mode. Link modes already integrate with birds….

[@joemes3888]

Great video, thank you!!

[@Precisionreelworks]

Hi, just picked up a 2018 Terrova that is missing a remote. Can I use the ipilot link remote on a non-link unit?

[@nikolutkauskas5126]

I don’t believe so.

[@jokso22]

Did you make it work? I too got a terrova with lost remote. Is there any other way besides buying new remote?

[@Precisionreelworks]

@@jokso22 I never tried, just found a good deal on a non-link remote

[@jerseyfreshfishing6613]

So can I utilize all the features of the Advanced if I don't have bird electronics? That is why I didn't opt for the link...

[@strtslpr]

My brand new quest 24v Terrova loses its position in spot lock . 1month old and used twice . Anyone have any insight on why this might be happening . Already load tested my two 100ah Battleborn lithium batteries. Checked connections . Voltage stays at 26v with a meter connected when this occurs . Happens any time even in calm water no current or wind . Very sporadic and intermittent but consistently will lose position . Any help or does it sound like I have a defective motor . ??

[@ntj030885]

Now in 2024 can you buy a cheaper option with spot lock or is it just advanced gps model from now on?

[@josephharvey5742]

Is there a way to upgrade a powerdrive unit to accept a foot operated trolling motor and being able to use both the remote and foot control simultaneously?

[@Montanafield]

No. Need to wire only one at a time. I have new foot control I can’t hook up now. Going to get Terrova.

[@edwinchan19590125]

Thx for your sharing! My Terrova with pilot remote, can I use the Advanced GPS remote with my Hummingbird Helix 10 G2 for my fish finder? Thx!

[@sirob584]

What I’ve learned is that if there isn’t an n in your hummingbird model number it isn’t networking capable. I failed to realize this before I purchase a used helix 7 g2. The fishfinder needs to be networking capable so like a helix 7 G4N or helix 9 G4N. The N has to following N standing for networking so it can link it all together through the app.

[@fvRodRunner]

anyone know if my 2018 Ulterra iPilot Bluetooth will work with the iPilot Bluetooth LINK touch screen remote?

[@scotth.5720]

Wonder what the cost is to upgrade, have a link?

[@trollingmotorparts]

The cost to upgrade varies depending on the kit and model. All of the kits we offer are here: trollingmotorparts.com/minn-kota-advanced-gps-kits/

[@ImionsaeXwb77]

Too expensive if you already have the bt link.. not worth $700+ for 2 features

[@joshuasmith2689]

I learned today that my Terrova 2024 Advanced GPS does not need a heading sensor. No wonder why I couldn't get it to pair with the trolling motor! It isn't supposed to have one! There is going to be a lot of confusion, I know I'm not going to be the only one. But the Minn Kota rep on the phone made me feel like an idiot. Had a hard time with the update, too... until I realized it's not iPilot link anymore. The Minn Kota rep on the phone actually chuckled at me when I said my heading sensor was missing from the box. Told me it comes integrated with the head and it's no longer needed. All I need to do is the keel offset and all the features will activate.

[@markmonaco8901]

Thanks

[@peter112999]

Hi I have the new Riptide Instinct and am having trouble finding how to change from miles to kilometres on the remote. Can you assist, please

[@falsedragon33]

There is much bigger differences than presented. The close loop pid is going to be much more advanced.

[@brandoncsolson]

Thanks
