Downloading Updated Charts

If you have a chart subscription, you can download updated content regularly. 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 purchased the subscription using the ActiveCaptain app, the content is downloaded automatically each day you open the ActiveCaptain app.

If you purchased a subscription card or are updating a built-in chart, you need to follow the steps below once. Then, the content is downloaded automatically each day you open the ActiveCaptain app.

  1. When a chart update is available, and you have internet access on your mobile device, open the ActiveCaptain app on your mobile device.
  2. Select Chart > Menu button > My Charts.
  3. Select the map to update.
  4. Select the area to download.
  5. Select Download.

    The ActiveCaptain app downloads the update to the mobile device.

  6. Connect the mobile device to the GPSMAP® device (Getting Started with the ActiveCaptain App).
  7. From the GPSMAP device, select Vessel > ActiveCaptain > OneChart.

    The chart update is transferred to the ActiveCaptain device. After the transfer is complete, the updated charts are available for use.
