All ActiveCaptain^® features are compatible with Garmin BlueNet™ devices and legacy Garmin^® Marine Network devices. When using the ActiveCaptain app with Garmin BlueNet devices, observe these considerations.

• If you have only Garmin BlueNet devices on your boat, you can insert the memory card required for the ActiveCaptain app into any chartplotter connected to the Garmin BlueNet network.

• If you connected a legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter to the Garmin BlueNet network using a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway, you must insert the memory card required for the ActiveCaptain app into a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter, such as a GPSMAP^® 9000 chartplotter.

  • Inserting the ActiveCaptain memory card into a legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter connected to a Garmin BlueNet network can result in poor system performance. For example, software updates started from the ActiveCaptain app will update only legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, and none of the Garmin BlueNet devices will be updated.

  • Inserting the ActiveCaptain memory card into a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter will result in expected performance. Software updates started from the ActiveCaptain app will update all connected devices, including all Garmin BlueNet devices and all legacy Garmin Marine Network devices.
