Appendix

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 (ActiveCaptain App, page9). The app provides

unlimited access to your cartography and a quick, mobile way to download new charts using the OneChart

™

feature. 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. The app provides access to the

ActiveCaptain Community for feedback on marinas and other boating points of interest.

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 (Garmin Express App, page112). 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.
