HOW ITRACK RECORDING AND NAVIGATION WORK
When the recording of an iTrack is initiated, i-Pilot Link starts to record GPS position data in the form of track
points. The distance between these points varies based on the speed of the boat and the GPS signal strength.
The very first track point recorded is called the Start. The last point recorded is called the End. i-Pilot Link sees a
recorded track as a series of these track points. When Navigate to Start or Navigate to End is initiated, Link will
navigate to the nearest track point. Once this nearest track point is reached, it will then follow the track points in
sequence back to either the Start or End based on which mode was selected. Once the end or start track point
is reached, Link automatically cancels the track navigation. The user can choose to have Link transition to other
modes by configuring the Arrival Mode.
iTracks can be recorded for a distance of up to 2 miles. You can save up to 50 iTracks on your Humminbird or
up to 16 on the Link controller when operating without the Humminbird. iTracks 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. You can also edit the iTrack appearance and whether or not it is visible on the
Humminbird screen.
During track navigation, Link 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.
