Carplounge Autopilot / Raymarine Element App for RT7 & RT4 V4

Elevate your fishing experience with the Carplounge Autopilot system, designed to transform your Android device into a sophisticated control center for your BaitBoat. Available for free on the Google Play Store, this app is compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled Android tablet or phone, offering a seamless connection to your boat via a transmitter box. With the app, you can navigate your BaitBoat effortlessly using the touchscreen, similar to a traditional remote control.

In manual mode, your BaitBoat operates just like a standard model, allowing you to steer it directly on the touchscreen. The app's advanced features include real-time display of the boat's position, route, and orientation, thanks to an integrated compass function. You can also pinpoint and save promising fishing spots using the built-in GPS, labeling them with names such as "jetty left", "spot 1", or "home" for easy reference.

Switch to autopilot mode, and you unlock the ability to program routes with specific actions at each waypoint. For example, you can set the boat to travel to "Sandbank", open the right hopper upon arrival, then proceed to "Spot 2" to open the left hopper, and finally return to your fishing spot with a signal blink. The system can store an almost limitless number of spots and routes, ensuring precise navigation with cutting-edge GPS and compass technology, achieving 90% accuracy within 30cm!

The Carplounge Autopilot also smartly handles line tensioning while the boat is in motion, especially when deploying multiple rods to different locations. The onboard electronics detect any line tension and adjust the boat's course accordingly, maintaining a direct path to the target without unnecessary deviations that could cause line tangles.

Although the autopilot replaces the traditional remote control, we provide the option to connect a remote control to the system. This flexibility allows you to choose whether to use your Android tablet or a conventional remote to steer the BaitBoat. The app is optimized for 10-inch Android tablets, ensuring a user-friendly experience.

Our commitment to continuous improvement means the Carplounge Autopilot app is regularly updated through the Google Play Store. These automatic software updates deliver new features, modifications, and enhancements without requiring you to send your autopilot or boat back to us.

Please note, this app is exclusively designed for use with the RT7 & RT4 V4 models.
