3. Open the Navionics Boating app and perform Plotter Sync (Menu > Paired Devices > [select the device] > Start Sync)

4. In the Boating app, select all routes and markers that are to be transferred (Menu > Routes (or Markers) > Select)

5. Select Share (icon) > Export GPX File > Select ActiveCaptian

6. ActiveCaptain will open and ask for confirmation to import the user data from the GPX file. Select Confirm
