memory card onto the device internal memory (Copying User
Data from a Memory Card, page 42). After formatting the
card for the ActiveCaptain app, you can transfer the user
data back to the card (Copying User Data to a Memory Card,

Regular data limits or charges from your Internet service
provider apply. Contact your Internet service provider for more
information about data limits or charges.

Updating Charts with ActiveCaptain
You can use the ActiveCaptain app to download and transfer the
latest chart updates for your device. To save space on your
mobile device, space on the ActiveCaptain card, and download
time, consider using the ActiveCaptain app to download only the
areas of the chart you need.
If you are downloading an entire chart, you can use the Garmin
Express
™
app to download the map onto a memory card
(Updating Your Charts Using the Garmin Express App,
page 43). The Garmin Express app downloads large charts
more quickly than the ActiveCaptain app.
NOTICE
Chart updates may require the app to download large files.
Regular data limits or charges from your internet service
provider apply. Contact your internet service provider for more
information about data limits or charges.

Charts and 3D Chart Views
The charts and 3D chart views that are available depend on the
map data and accessories used.
NOTE: 3D chart views are available with premium charts, in
some areas.
You can access the charts and 3D chart views by selecting
Charts.
Navigation Chart: Shows navigation data available on your pre-
loaded maps and from supplemental maps, if available. The
data includes buoys, lights, cables, depth soundings,
marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view.
Fishing Chart: Provides a detailed view of the bottom contours
and depth soundings on the chart. This chart removes
navigational data from the chart, provides detailed
bathymetric data, and enhances bottom contours for depth
recognition. This chart is best for offshore deep-sea fishing.
NOTE: The Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in
some areas.
Perspective 3D: Provides a view from above and behind the
boat (according to your course) and provides a visual
navigation aid. This view is helpful when navigating tricky
shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels, and is beneficial when
trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or
anchorages.
