Carplounge Autopilot: Revolutionizing Bait Boat Control with Your Android Device
Forget traditional bait boat remotes! The Carplounge Autopilot utilizes your Android tablet or phone for seamless control of your RT7 & RT4 V4 BaitBoat. This free app, available on the Google Play Store, connects to your boat via Bluetooth using a transmitter box.
Enjoy intuitive touchscreen control in manual mode, mirroring the functionality of a standard remote. Real-time position, route, and orientation (including a compass!) are displayed on an interactive map. Utilize the integrated GPS to pinpoint and save promising fishing spots – name them (e.g., "jetty left," "spot 1") and build your perfect fishing strategy.
Autopilot mode unleashes the true power of the Carplounge Autopilot. Create complex routes by selecting saved points and assigning actions at each waypoint (open hatches, release bait, activate lights). Imagine: navigate to "Sandbank," deploy bait from the right hopper, proceed to "Spot 2" for a left hopper release, and finally return to your fishing location with a light signal – all automatically! Store an almost unlimited number of spots and routes.
Precision is paramount. Advanced sensors (position, acceleration), coupled with cutting-edge GPS and compass technology, ensure incredibly accurate route following (90% accuracy within 30cm!). Intelligent line tension management addresses the challenges of deploying multiple rods simultaneously. The system detects line tension and adjusts the boat's course, maintaining a direct path to the target and minimizing line tangles.
The Autopilot replaces your standard remote, but you can still connect a remote control if preferred, offering flexible control options. While optimized for 10-inch tablets, any Bluetooth-enabled Android tablet will work.
Benefit from continuous app development and automatic updates via the Google Play Store. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly, eliminating the need to send your autopilot or boat for updates.
Exclusively for RT7 & RT4 V4 BaitBoats.
