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. i-Pilot Link sees
a recorded iTrack as a series of these track points. iTracks can be recorded for a distance of up to 2 miles. Active iTracks
used for navigation and iTracks being actively recorded are always visible. Saved iTracks can be set to visible or hidden
(see
Display Spot-Locks and iTracks on the Chart View
).
You can save up to 50 iTracks on your SOLIX, ONIX, or ION, or up to 16 on the Link Controller when operating without the
Humminbird control head. iTracks are saved with an alphanumeric name that can be edited on the SOLIX, ONIX, or ION
control head in Chart View or from the Nav Data tool. You can also edit the iTrack appearance and whether or not it is
visible on the SOLIX, ONIX, or ION control head Chart View. See
Manage your i-Pilot Link Navigation Data
.
During iTrack 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 iTrack given wind,
current, and other external forces. See
Propeller Controls
and the
i-Pilot Link Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Route Points
are stored latitude/longitude positions that connect to form route navigation.
