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. You will get exceptional coverage, clarity and detail with charts that feature integrated Garmin and Navionics data and much more. 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.

    This is so over complicated for someone who has no over limited knowledge of apps and WiFi could you please make some kinda system for less notable people or people just figuring this stuff out with maps of the lakes but without any of the crazy stuff.
  • Nice with the graph paring

    I never would have imagined that anyone could create a system that I could not only understand but navigate and figure out how to use it quickly! I love the way I can keep up to date with software and have my equipment running optimally! Thank You Garmin! Makes an old guy feel younger!
  • Complete scam

    The fact that one loses function on purchased software is ridiculous. Total regret that I have Garmin installed on any vehicle. Complete garbage.

    This is a mediocre app. It doesn’t show depth very well nor label objects. Couldn’t find the name of a large bridge coming out of Galveston. Seems like it used to be better…
