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
™
app to download the map onto a
memory card (
Updating Your Charts Using the Garmin
). The Garmin Express app
downloads large charts more quickly than the
ActiveCaptain app.
NOTICE
Chart updates may require the app to download large
files. Regular data limits or charges from your internet
service provider apply. Contact your internet service
provider for more information about data limits or charges.
