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.
If you purchased a subscription card or are updating a built-in chart, you need to follow the steps below once. 
Then, the content is downloaded automatically each day you open the ActiveCaptain app.

ActiveCaptain app on your mobile device.

Select Chart > 

 > My Charts.

Select the map to update.
Select the area to download.
Select Download.
