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.

    Garmin is failing here. Updates to my chart plotters are a disaster with same update running over and over. Cannot unlock map messages to follow. Disaster
  • Cool concept, poor execution

    I purchased a Garmin fish finder over any other brands specifically because of the Active Captain capability with being able to contribute charts to the QuickDraw community. I viewed it as a challenge to fill in missing gaps & areas that haven’t been chart/plotted before. I’ve been on several different lakes now and according to this Active Captain app, it shows dates and times that I have uploaded surveys to the chartplotter; however, it’s been over a week and my QuickDraw contours have never uploaded to the QuickDraw community. I was hoping to use this phone app to show friends and family different depths of lakes to plan future fishing trips, yet Garmin has let me down. Very disappointed so far with my choice in my first fish finder. My fish finder is a Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 53cv. And yes, I have selected within the Active Captain app to Contribute to the QuickDraw Community.

    , very difficult to navigate this app. Needs someone that is in voting and not in technology writing the instructions.

    WiFi is poor even standing next to plotter. Always fails sync to or from plotter. Fix is to bounce WiFi on off
  • Terrible software.

    Does not integrate well with the chart plotter. The system WiFi drops out in the middle of software updates. All very frustrating and not very useful.
  • DO NOT USE

    Had 6k waypoints in this app, some of which were passed down from captains and worth close to $10k. Just got a new phone and went to open the app for a waypoint i needed and everything was gone. Would never recommend this app or service to anyone
