ActiveCaptain and Garmin Express
The ActiveCaptain and Garmin Express apps help you manage
your Garmin chartplotter and other devices.
ActiveCaptain: The ActiveCaptain mobile app provides an
easy-to-use connection between your compatible mobile
device and your compatible Garmin chartplotter, charts, and
the Garmin Quickdraw Contours Community (ActiveCaptain
App, page 3). The app provides unlimited access to your
cartography and a quick, mobile way to download new charts
using the OneChart
™
feature, provides a link to receive
notifications on your chartplotter, and provides access to the
ActiveCaptain Community for feedback on marinas and other
boating points of interest. You can also use the app to plan
your trip and sync user data. The app checks your devices
for available updates, and notifies you when an update is
available.
Garmin Express: The Garmin Express desktop app allows you
to use your computer and a memory card to download and
update Garmin chartplotter software and charts
(ActiveCaptain and Garmin Express, page 42). You should
use the Garmin Express app for faster data transfer of larger
downloads and updates, and to avoid possible data charges
with some mobile devices.
