I noticed Skeet Reese was fishing current and wind during the classic. When Skeet was fighting his bass the boat kept it's position via GPS, it would drift with the current and wind, then self correct holding exactly in the same postion. This must be something new with Motorgiude or MinnKota that Ive missed. The digital tracking feature would not hold a position, it would track a course.
I can't tell you how valuable it is to have your boat stay in position while you are away from the trolling motor in the wind and how long it takes to reposition the boat when fishing outside isolated structure. What an advantage that is!

Tom, I think this system has been around for a couple of years or so. I have never seen one but it is designed to self correct and can keep a person exactly the same distance off shore and on select targets. I don't know what these run but I know it's more than this poor boy can afford and my boat control is so bad I am the one who needs it most!!

Motorguide has PTSv tracking GPS system and didn't know it would hold a precise position in the wind. The top pro's get some trick stuff and need to check this out.

The new Motorguide has a module that mounts near the GPS antenna that controls the trolling to "anchor" and was included as a option on the Classic boats. You need the electronic control digital trolling motor to add this option.
My 2 year old digital Motorgiude is the old cable control unit, great motor and love it...but to be able to "anchor" and sit on a spot!
