About Garmin ActiveCaptain
Just pair the app with your compatible chartplotter to wirelessly transfer and access charts and maps, updates, routes, waypoints and helpful feedback from the ActiveCaptain Community. And, with the purchase of the OnDeck Hub (1), you can track and monitor your boat from virtually anywhere.
The ultimate connected boating experience begins here with a boatload of features at your fingertips.
Please note, this app is not recommended for non-Garmin chartplotter owners and is not intended to be a standalone navigational app.
FEATURES AVAILABLE:
- ONECHART:
> Purchase charts from your mobile device and upload them at any time to registered Garmin chart plotters on your vessel. You will get exceptional coverage, clarity and detail with charts that feature integrated Garmin and Navionics® data.

> Access and update charts with the ActiveCaptain app from nearly anywhere and wirelessly transfer them to your Garmin chartplotter the next time you’re on the water.

- USER DATA SYNC: Automatically back up and sync your data between your chartplotter and the ActiveCaptain app.
- ACTIVECAPTAIN COMMUNITY: Join a community of fellow boaters to get up-to-date feedback on marinas, boat ramps and other points of interests.
