Spot-Lock

Spot-Lock uses a single point as a reference for the spot you want to stay on. Around the Spot-Lock
location i-Pilot Link uses an arrival circle to determine prop speed and direction. If i-Pilot Link sees it is
within the circle, it will adjust the motor speed to zero. If i-Pilot Link sees it is outside of the circle, it will
control motor speed in an attempt to get the boat back into the circle.
You can save a combination of up to 2,500 Spot-Locks and Waypoints on your Humminbird or up to
16 on the Link Controller when operating without the Humminbird. Spot-Locks are saved with an
alphanumeric name that can be edited on the Humminbird through the Navigation X-Press Menu or from
the Waypoint Management dialog box.
Note: Link differentiates between a Spot-Lock and a Waypoint only by its icon. A Spot-Lock will have this
icon:
. Any Waypoint can be converted to a Spot-Lock simply by changing its icon to the Spot-Lock icon
which can be accomplished through Waypoint Management.
Spot-Lock can be operationally controlled with the i-Pilot Link remote or the Humminbird fishfinder.
