Using a Wireless Headset with a Garmin Chartplotter
Before using a wireless headset for voice control, make sure the volume on your headset is sufficient to hear voice responses.
- Say OK Garmin.

The chartplotter completes the action or provides a voice response.
Chartplotter Voice Commands
The voice command system is designed to detect natural speech. This is a list of commonly used voice commands, but the device does not require these exact phrases (other than OK Garmin). You can try saying variations of these commands in a way that is natural to you. An expanded list of voice commands is available at garmin.com/support/marine_voice_commands.
