I recently purchased an MG Xi5 and have a Lowrance HD Touch 7 on the bow and a HDS Touch 9 on the console which I am thinking about connecting them together with the Gateway/NMEA 2000 system ($300+). Question is do you find the 'go to' (Autopilot) function to be accurate to put you right on the waypoint (brushpile) you selected? I can see the value of side-scanning an area, putting a waypoint on structure and then having the TM go to the marked waypoint for some fishing. Would also use the big motor to come within 50 yards of a pile and then let the TM do the rest without disturbing the pile. Is it accurate enough to do this?
