Enabling the Autopilot Controls on a Garmin Watch

You can control the Garmin® autopilot with a compatible Garmin watch. Go to garmin.com for a list of compatible Garmin devices. For more information, see the owner's manual for your compatible Garmin watch.

NOTE: Smart notifications are not available on your watch when the autopilot remote control is enabled.
TIP: In addition to controlling an autopilot system, you can also use a compatible Garmin watch to control or view other features on the chartplotter:
  1. Select Communications > Wireless Devices > Wearables > Autopilot Control > Enable > New Connection.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
