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 work on only one chartplotter at a time. Shortcut key assignments saved on one chartplotter do not transfer to other chartplotters on the network.
  1. If you have more than one chartplotter on the network, open the Trolling Motor bar on the chartplotter you want to control using the shortcut keys, select Menu icon, and turn on Shortcut Keys.
  2. Open the screen you want to save a shortcut to.
  3. 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 on the chartplotter.
