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
memory card. The Garmin Express app downloads large charts more quickly than the ActiveCaptain app. For
more information, go to garmin.com/express.
