Downloading Updated Charts
If you have a chart subscription, you can download updated content regularly. 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 purchased the subscription using the ActiveCaptain app, the content is downloaded automatically each
day you open the ActiveCaptain app.
