Seems kinda pointless for about 99.9999% of people that are just fishing some dumb lake in their 14 foot lund.   

How many people are still fishing out of a 14 foot Lund?

It's not a useful function for anyone that is operating a boat that it would be completely abnormal to have radar mounted on it.

 

It's also pointless anywhere in this state except possibly superior.

Certainly looks like more  of a Saltwater feature, what with requiring an external add on device.

Impractable - your on Mille Lacs, sky getting dark, you pick up an AIS signal on your app 14 miles SW of your location heading north in your direction at 72 MPH. Amazed by the boat speed you call your buddy Joe one of two in MN who also has the AIS system & find out he is on 169 in his F150 heading to Leach, just forgot to turn off his chart plotter after bragging about his new $900 AIS with his neighbor before leaving home, you know the guy that has to have every electronic available. All those dozen or so guys in there 14' Lunds cranked up there Scott Attwaters and are heading to shore at the frightening speed of 4 MPH trying to beat the on-coming storm and 4' waves. They really have no desire for those newfangled useless things.
