Description

The free ActiveCaptain app creates a powerful connection between your compatible mobile device and Garmin chartplotter, charts, maps and the boating community. Whether you use your Garmin products for cruising, fishing, sailing or diving, this all-in-one app will help you enjoy your time on the water. Just pair the app with your compatible chartplotter to wirelessly transfer and access charts and maps, software updates, routes, waypoints and helpful feedback from the ActiveCaptain Community. And, with the purchase of the OnDeck™ hub(1), you can track and monitor your boat from virtually anywhere. Please note that this app is intended for Garmin chartplotter owners and is not recommended for use as a stand-alone navigational app. FEATURES AVAILABLE: - ONECHART™: > New Garmin Navionics+™ and premium Garmin Navionics Vision+™ cartography, featuring a Navionics® style appearance, advanced Auto Guidance+™ technology(2) and a one-year subscription to daily updates, is available now for North America and Europe, and coming soon to the rest of the world. Purchase our newest-generation charts or legacy BlueChart® g3 charts from your mobile device, and upload them to registered Garmin chartplotters on your vessel.

Plus, the NOAA raster cartography(3) and premium features can be downloaded for free through the ActiveCaptain app. Visit Garmin.com/marinemaps. - PLAN A TRIP: Plan your trip, or e-scout a new fishing spot before you’re on the water.

    Cumbersome at best.
  • Boundaries

    Cannot see or create Boundaries on the app. This would be helpful so when i return home and have marked a hazard or something of size, I could create a Boundary at a later time if deemed helpful. Especially when my boat is an hour away.

    It was a little hard to understand at first but the more you work with it it all falls into place.
  • AP is a pain to use! Not intuitive at all!

    Been a Garmin user for years. Now wish I weren’t due to the ap not being user friendly at all.
  • App needs work

    I’ve been using this app to update units. And it’s always been hit or miss. For example there’s a glitch that happens when ever I check for updates. It will say it’s updated and that it was last checked Aug 22 with the current time. The Garmin website says my autopilot should be version 7.0. When I’m not connected to the chartplotter once I connect it doesn’t update at all. Says Vessel up to date.
  • Amazing service

    Just really like the app and what it offers. Ease of use and just really a simple process. I personally love all of my Garmin products. Had them for years now!!
  • Poor for the money

    Not a very intuitive product for such a high end and important application.
