I'm not going to buy the thing until spring, until then I'm trying to find out all I can about it... I think motor guide has a wireless, not the gps I don't think, It seems they offer a wireless foot pedal for their motor but so far I haven't seen a foot control offered for the v2 which is all I need for my 17 foot tracker... I might talk myself into buying the model with the foot control by march... I'll probably get the foot control and it will sit around on the deck in the way.... If I don't have a problem negotiating standing timber, I doubt Ill have much use for the foot pedal... The spot lock will be the work horse judging from the way I fish now... Would like to buy the thing and add the foot pedal later if it seems like I need it but I don't think that is an option from what I have read.
