Each positive experience a user has with ACC makes them more likley to contribute to the data they’re using.

If managing accounts isn’t required to download the data users are more likely to have current data available on their apps.
I think this is an important change and one that may well significantly increase the use of the ACC data. Now, an app can let you view the ACC database without logging in (“ACC Display” in the table above)! Authentication is only required to add, edit or delete POIs (“ACC Editing “in the table above). So, to download the POI database you had to provide your AC username and password. Previously any interaction with the AC database required logging in. Meanwhile, Garmin improved access to ACC with an important change to the ACC API. Those new legal terms may present challenges to existing and potential ACC partner developers.
#SEAIQ AND ACTIVE CAPTAIN SOFTWARE#
The new ACC API requires software developers to modify their code as well as accept new legal terms. The AC application programming interface (API) - the mechanism used for exchanging AC data with apps and software packages - would be replaced with an ACC version able to support the more robust privacy controls GDPR requires. We learned that a change was required in order to comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I experienced the great value of having AC information displayed in an easy-to-consume app.Īs we’ve discussed previously, there has been plenty of confusion about changes to ActiveCaptain since Garmin’s acquisition. Because we were almost always in waters I hadn’t cruised before, the experience of others, shared via AC, helped guide us through sometimes challenging cruising. Garmin BlueChart Mobile overlaid with AC POIs became an indispensable navigational tool at my helm. OS: A – Android, B – Browser, i – iOS, L – Linux, M – MacOS X, P – Plotter/MFD, W – Windowsīefore getting to the many details that go with the table, let me proclaim my own strong interest in ActiveCaptain applications and also describe what led up to the current situation.įourteen months of cruising in unfamiliar waters made me a believer in the value of the AC user community (before Garmin capitalized the ‘c’).

* Adheres to IHO S-52 chart display standards * Support for official HO S-57/S-63 marine charts For non-pilots, we recommend SEAiq and SEAiq USA. IMPORTANT: you can try all the features in SEAiq Pilot VPP by downloading our other app, SEAiq Pilot, which is the same app but with a 7-day evaluation period. It includes support for displaying charts in the S-57, S-63, iENC, and BSB/KAP formats and use of external NMEA/AIS over WiFi. SEAiq Pilot VPP is designed especially for use by river, channel, and harbor pilots.
