Garmin ActiveCaptain®

Experience seamless marine navigation with the Garmin ActiveCaptain® app, designed to enhance your boating activities. This free platform connects your compatible mobile device with a Garmin chartplotter, providing access to detailed charts, maps, and a vibrant boating community. Whether you're cruising, fishing, sailing, or diving, you can maximize your time on the water.

The platform enables wireless transfer of charts and maps, streamlined software updates, and the ability to share routes and waypoints. You can also connect with the ActiveCaptain Community for insights on marinas, boat ramps, and other points of interest. These resources help users make informed decisions, contributing to improved safety and enjoyment on their maritime adventures.

Outstanding features include the ONECHART™, where users can purchase the latest Garmin Navionics+™ and Garmin Navionics Vision+™ cartography. Enjoy exceptional coverage and detail with updated charts and the legacy BlueChart® g3 charts accessible on registered Garmin chartplotters. Additionally, free NOAA raster cartography and premium features are available for download.

Scout new locations before setting sail with the in-app trip planning feature, and ensure all your information is automatically backed up and synchronized across different devices.

Take the helm remotely with the Helm™ feature, which offers convenience and flexibility during navigation. With the OnDeck™ hub (requires purchase and subscription plan), you can manage your vessel's tracking, monitoring, and control systems from afar.

Integration with the Garmin Quickdraw™ Community allows access to high-definition contour maps and participation in the mapping community. Stay connected with smart notifications for calls and messages which can be viewed directly on your chartplotter, keeping your mobile device secure and your focus undisturbed.

In conclusion, Garmin ActiveCaptain® supports your boating with advanced chart management, community insights, and remote boat monitoring capabilities, providing an integrated suite for your navigation needs. However, it is optimized for usage with Garmin chartplotter systems, and not intended as a self-contained navigational tool.
