Connect Garmin in the ChartedSails App

Set up automatic synchronization between your Garmin watch and ChartedSails — from the mobile app or directly on chartedsails.com.

The ChartedSails mobile app and website can automatically import your sailing activities from Garmin Connect. Once connected, every sailing session you record on your Garmin watch will appear in ChartedSails within minutes of finishing.

Requirements

• A Garmin watch that syncs to Garmin Connect
• The ChartedSails mobile app (iOS or Android), or a chartedsails.com account
• A Garmin Connect account

Step 1: Open Profile Settings

In the ChartedSails app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner to open your profile settings. On the website, click your avatar and choose Profile.

Step 2: Tap on Garmin Connect

Scroll down to find the Garmin Connect option and tap on it.

Step 3: Authorize ChartedSails

You will be redirected to Garmin Connect to authorize ChartedSails. Log in with your Garmin credentials and approve the connection.

Step 4: Select your default boat

After connecting, choose which boat should be assigned to your Garmin activities by default. You can always change this later for individual sessions.

How synchronization works

• When you finish a sailing activity on your watch, it syncs to Garmin Connect
• Garmin Connect notifies ChartedSails of the new activity
• ChartedSails automatically downloads and processes the activity
• The session appears in your ChartedSails app and web dashboard

Only activities with sail, kite, foil, or wing in the name are imported. Other activities (running, cycling, etc.) are ignored.
