Assigning a Chartplotter Shortcut to a Programmable Key

If the trolling motor is connected to a compatible Garmin® chartplotter, you can configure the numbered keys on the remote control to quickly change to a screen on the chartplotter, such as a sonar or chart screen.

NOTE: If you have more than one chartplotter on your network, the shortcut keys control only one chartplotter at a time. To change to a different chartplotter, you can open the Trolling Motor bar, select Menu icon, and turn on Shortcut Keys on the chartplotter you want to control using the shortcut keys. Shortcuts saved on one chartplotter do not transfer to other chartplotters.
TIP: You can also configure a programmable key to turn on Bow Lock or Anchor Lock (Assigning an Anchor Mode to a Programmable Key).
  1. Open a screen on a connected chartplotter.
  2. Hold a numbered key on the remote control.

    The chartplotter shows a notification banner to confirm the key assignment.

The shortcut is also saved to the Favorites category with the shortcut key number.
