Title: Navigating to a waypoint from 899 does not work
Post by: lorenzo42 on April 18, 2015, 04:56:13 PM: Hello everyone,

I need some help. When I create a waypoint in the 899 ci hd si and then press the goto button, the terrova I pilot link does not go to the waypoint. It just sits there. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Laz

Is the i-Pilot Link connected to the 899ci HD Si unit via an Ethernet connection?
Are you running the latest software version in the 899ci HD Si unit and the i-Pilot Link Controller and Remote?
Does the i-Pilot Link show as "CONNECTED" in the 899's Accessory Test View?

Post by: lorenzo42 on April 26, 2015, 12:46:55 PM: Thanks guys. However, I was on the lake again today and I have Auto Prop ON and the terroava will still not automatically navigate to my waypoint. The waypoint(s) i am setting are at max. 50 ft away. The 899 is reading the i pilot link. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Laz.

Post by: lorenzo42 on April 26, 2015, 04:08:59 PM: The goto on the remote works great. I can set a spot-lock, save it, and I can recall it and the trolling motor goes there with no problems. It is just from the HB that it does not work. However, the software on the remote is V1.160 and (according to the remote). The controller software is: V. 1.160.
