    Initially I was skeptical, after using it, I love it. Specifically for updating and maintain Garmin products. Ease of use stands out as a huge value add provided by ActiveCaptain. Highly recommend.

    Love my Garmin and I used to really like my ActiveCaptain until the “ Last Update “! Now my devices will not connect to my unit with the ActiveCaptain. The reason I gave it a two star is I hope they fix this and do it soon!
  • No .GPX export of auto guidance Routes (now called Paths)

    Can’t interchange data and plan trips using the auto-guidance capability in Active Captain or a GPSMAP chart Plotter like the GPSMAP 8616xsv! What’s up with a “path” file Garmin...its called a “route” in all other Marine mapping application and programs. Path files do not have waypoints for turns and are close to useless as they can’t be used with other devices and software. This is NOT autoguidance routing, it is worthless proprietary auto “pathing” that is good only if you have a garmin autopilot or reactor CORE system. Fix It...asap. It’s crippled and Useless now!

    I expected so much more from Garmin. I expected ForeFlight on the water. This is a “lite” version with no upgrade available. Missing: Route planning with fuel and time, etc Weather overlays Search that works Active sync with Garmin’s navionics (slightly better) And on and on. Please fix this. It’s a detriment to your 8600 glass.

    Garmin has made its fishing products very user friendly. To me that’s the most important aspect.

    The app makes my iPad and phone like second chart plotters. Love the versatility and functionality.
