This app should be called Active Disconnection instead of Active Captain. It is annoying enough to wait for hours to download updates because most of us are using phone data and their programmers are too lazy to write tighter code, but to have to reconnect a dozen times during the process is absurd. Makes product useless.

Can't even connect to the app. Even when the wifi is connected, the app say not connected. Sometimes app can't even find wifi off my GLS box but my wifi on my phone will connect to it. Garmin really needs to fix this problem

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 download 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.

Incredibly unreliable, often fails to detect the chartplotter despite being connected to ITS network, how hopeless is that!!!

That's all for now. Check Later.
