Why it is here
Marine planning and chart management
Garmin ActiveCaptain® is a companion app for boaters who use Garmin marine electronics. It connects a compatible Android device with Garmin chartplotters and provides tools for planning trips, managing marine chart data, and staying informed while on the water. The app is aimed at recreational boat owners, anglers, and other Garmin users who want chart and vessel information available beyond the main helm display.
Charts, routes, and wireless transfers
With OneChart™ support, users can manage Navionics+™ and BlueChart® g3 chart data from a mobile device and transfer it wirelessly to a compatible boat system. This makes the phone or tablet useful for preparing navigation information before heading out, rather than relying only on the chartplotter once aboard.
- Plan routes and review marine chart information on a mobile screen.
- Transfer supported chart data to compatible Garmin equipment.
- Access Quickdraw™ Contours community-generated bottom maps where available.
Community information and connected equipment
The ActiveCaptain Community adds user-submitted information about marinas, boat ramps, and hazards, including reviews and photos. Garmin equipment integration can also provide Helm™ features for viewing or controlling a chartplotter from a mobile device. Compatible OnDeck™ setups may let users monitor vessel systems and sensors remotely, depending on the installed hardware and service configuration.
App details
Garmin ActiveCaptain® is listed in Maps & Navigation and is developed by Garmin. It has a 4.109489 rating from 6,588 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs. Its usefulness depends on having compatible Garmin marine equipment and, for some functions, the relevant chart data or onboard system.
