Not the most intuitive app to use. Several menu selections are not where expected or don't function as expected. Continue to have issues with sharing Quickdraw contours. App doesn't appear to recognize when new contours are added. Having to select "cancel" each & every time I go to the "chart" page is absolutely abominable! To allow/disallow access to location should be a one time choice at the beginning of the session or a on/off switch added to settings. Otherwise a very nice option to use.

Broken! Credentials input, all my devices flash into view and then app wants my credentials again. at main screen and try to charts, nothing happens. Previous review - - > Logged me out out on the water for no apparent reason. Back to shore with internet access and app won't auto fill from my manager. This is such basic functionality that it boggles the mind that Garmin can screw it up so badly. Will continue using Helm which just works.

This is one of the worst pieces of garbage I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. It says "not connected", then when you attempt to connect it won't allow it because it thinks it's already connected. The UI is horrible (I've had it for a week and I still can't make it sync properly), it has no option to maps I've subscribed to and it won't allow anything to be transferred to the chartplotter anyways. These clowns should be ashamed to attach their names to this.

worked perfectly 3 months ago now do not have access to charts. A reinstall resulted in failure to charts. Endless loop of ..ok done....ok done. Where are my charts? same with active captain info. 80%...98% complete and restarts..the never completing loop. If isnt fixed will a different plotter

too many steps to upgrade. first connect gps to plotter, the connect again and again it keeps trying to connect to strongest signal around then s plotter update takes 30 min. then reconnect and updates, takes 20 minutes. then reconnects to house wifi. can't keep it connected to plotter. 6 tries and tells you all updated. on a lil message. but wants to reconnect again but no internet. never tells you its done. took 3 hrs. you can updates thru pc in 15 min. Do it! s

Constant headache! Directions are a bare minimum. Even if you follow them perfectly the app will not work with your chartplotter. After 2 days I got everything to work except the most important thing. ing charts. The Active captain app will the charts I paid for, but when I try to transfer them to my chartplotter, the chartplotter freezes at 22% every time. It gives me a "OneChart Error" code. The app works great on my phone. Useless on my Garmin Echomap 73.

SAVE YOUR DATA BEFORE DELETING THIS APP! It only saves your POIs on your device, not in a cloud file. This sucks because if you haven't backed it up via SD or chartfinder and you get a new phone or delete the app... it's all gone... This app also doesn't function as well as Navionics (Autotrack and shading just dont work on Garmin). I will say it's the best bang for your buck and simplicity when it comes to fish finder tech, but this whole market is decades behind where it should be... It's a shame we have to pay these prices for something that could be much more advanced.

The app features are nice. But it's worthless to me if I can't sync it with my Garmin GPSMAP 942XS. Every time I get back on my boat, it says it can't sync because there is no suitable SD card loaded into the GPS. But there is! After spending 15 minutes on the phone with Garmin resetting everything from scratch, it works great. That is until the next time I get out to my boat and here we go again. This app is way too buggy.
