How to Use Garmin Active Captain, and Download Maps in your Phone App

Welcome to another Bassin on a Budget from the Bass & Brews. In this episode, we show you how to use and setup Active Captain on your fish finder and phone. We also show you how to download the maps you need to use the app on your phone. This app is a game changer for ease of use and it comes built in to your 93SV and select other Garmin units. If you arent using Active Captain, you should be, and we will show you how.

I have a new unit with the free 1 year navionics +..What’s the difference from the maps you download from the app, compared to the maps on the unit???

[@BassAndBrews]

I’m not entirely sure. I have never had navionics +. I think it can give you more accurate maps for the lakes it supports. I believe there are lists online as to what lakes are supported by navionics +, but I haven’t seen specific details about what is different per lake.

I note that User Data automatically synced between your App and your unit. I have a 93 UHD and this is not happening when I connect. Any advice

Hmm let me look into it. I seem to remember a setting that was for auto updating or not
