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 Express App, page 64
). 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.
