Received my new Ulterra today and found out that the R&R Design mount will not work so I'm shipping it back for credit and I ordered a MK sliding mount (something I should have done from the beginning). BTW, the new Ulterra doesn't use a separate GPS receiver, it is a separate "heading" thingey. It pairs wirelessly via bluetooth with the Ulterra head, which according to MK Tech Support has a new and improved GPS receiver with improved algorithms that is supposed to get the spot lock to be more precise. Supposedly, the "heading" thingey helps the tm know it's exact heading along with how large the boat is so that is supposedly the improvement. I'm sure that is also how the jog feature will function. We'll see once I get my new mount and power it up on the water.
