The ActiveCaptain app provides a connection to your GPSMAP chartplotter, maps and charts, and the

ActiveCaptain community for a connected boating experience.

On your mobile device with the ActiveCaptain app, you can download, purchase, and update maps and charts.

You can use the app to easily and quickly transfer user data, such as waypoints and routes, connect to the

Garmin Quickdraw Contours Community, update device software, and plan your trip. You can also control the

GPSMAP chartplotter from the app using the Garmin Helm

You can connect to the ActiveCaptain community for up-to-date feedback on marinas and other points of

interest. The app can push smart notifications, such as calls and texts, to your chartplotter display when paired.

ActiveCaptain and Garmin BlueNet Considerations

All ActiveCaptain features are compatible with Garmin BlueNet devices and legacy Garmin Marine Network

devices. When using the ActiveCaptain app with Garmin BlueNet devices, observe these considerations.

• If you have only Garmin BlueNet devices on your boat, you can insert the memory card required for the

ActiveCaptain app into any chartplotter connected to the Garmin BlueNet network.

• If you connected a legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter to the Garmin BlueNet network using a Garmin

BlueNet 30 gateway, you must insert the memory card required for the ActiveCaptain app into a Garmin

BlueNet chartplotter, such as a GPSMAP 9000 chartplotter.

◦ Inserting the ActiveCaptain memory card into a legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter connected to

a Garmin BlueNet network can result in poor system performance. For example, software updates started

from the ActiveCaptain app will update only legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, and none of the

Garmin BlueNet devices will be updated.

◦ Inserting the ActiveCaptain memory card into a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter will result in expected

performance. Software updates started from the ActiveCaptain app will update all connected devices,

including all Garmin BlueNet devices and all legacy Garmin Marine Network devices.
