Using the MFD Remote App

You can use your watch as a remote control for your paired Garmin® chartplotter for quick access to frequently used functions, such as shortcuts and chart zoom. After you pair the devices, they connect automatically when they are turned on, within range, and the app is open on the watch.

  1. Bring your quatix® watch within 3 m (10 ft.) of the chartplotter.
  2. From the watch face, press Upper-right button, and select MFD Remote.
  3. Set the chartplotter to enter pairing mode for a remote control.

    See your chartplotter owner's manual for more information.

  4. Use the touchscreen to navigate the menus and features on the paired chartplotter.
    TIP: You can press Upper-right button to toggle between the chartplotter's directional pad and its main controls.
