Follow the Contour

Follow the Contour

Follow the Contour allows you to navigate a depth contour using i-Pilot Link (separate purchase required) . You can select a contour 
line and follow it in either direction, or use the Contour Offset feature to stay a set distance from a contour line or shoreline . 

When you start i-Pilot Link navigation to Follow the Contour, all other types of navigation are stopped on the Humminbird control 
head and the Ethernet network .

To purchase i-Pilot Link, and for more information, visit our Web site at 

humminbird.com 

or contact Humminbird Technical Support . 

 

    

WARNING! 

See your i-Pilot Link manual for warnings, safety information, and operations instructions. You are responsible for the 

safe and prudent operation of your boat. The i-Pilot Link is designed to be an accurate and reliable tool that will enhance boat 
operation and improve your ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation of 
your boat. You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as 
they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate your i-Pilot Link in an area 
free from hazards and obstacles.
