Compatible Devices which Automatically Sync between the ActiveCaptain app and the Chartplotter

To Set-Up a User Data Sync:

Open the ActiveCaptain app on the smart device
Pair the smart device with the marine device
- See the device's owner's manual for pairing instructions
- If the device is "Auto-Sync" compatible and is set-up by the owner of the vessel, this is the only step required. The data will automatically sync
- User data can be viewed and edited in the User Data menu in the Charts section of the ActiveCaptain app
In the ActiveCaptain app, select Sync with Plotter
Depending on the device, it may be required in the ActiveCaptain app to select either: Import From Plotter or Export to Plotter
On a Garmin device that requires a "Manual Sync" a message will appear confirming the transfer. Select OK

NOTE: On some devices that are only compatible with "Manual Sync", users will need to select Import / Export.

NOTE: Any imported data can be seen and managed by selecting User Data within the ActiveCaptain app.

NOTE: User Data consists of the users "Waypoints, Routes and Tracks".
