[QUOTE="TheRookieFD, post: 415999, member: 3481"] I am looking to purchase a motorguide xi5 to go with my Lowrance 7ti. I would like to utilize the pinpoint gps function on the trolling motor. I have some questions. 1. What exactly will I have to purchase besides the Motorguide xi5 with pinpoint gps in order to link it to the Lowrance? I have been told that I will need the Motorguide gateway. Will this connect directly to the Lowrance or will I have to purchase a NEMA 2000 starter kit. I currently don't have any Nema 2000 equipment on my boat. However I don't want to monitor or control anything but the Motorguide trolling motor. 2. When controlling the Motorguide using a graph, do you have the ability to record and store tracks? Do you have all the functions of the key fob on the graph? I have noticed on different videos that there are two different key fobs. One is very simple and appears to come with the basic salt water trolling motor. The other is more complex with the record, anchor, and 8 numbers for storage of routs and anchor points. Where does the more complex key fob come from? Does it come with a specific model of Motorguide xi5? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you for your time. [/QUOTE]
