I have everything working as I want to use my 12.9 ipad pro but when I push the helm button the screen is only have the size on my ipad. I was in hopes in would be full size to watch while fishing. Any thoughts? Im stumped.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Gary, I have been waiting for someone to respond to your post because I am experiencing the same thing. I’ve been surprised no one has yet responded. So let’s try one more time.

I too have the full size iPad Pro and use it a lot when cruising. After seeing your post, I linked it to our Garmin chartplotter (7616xsv) through ActiveCaptain, and selected “Helm.” The link worked and I could control the chartplotter from my iPad *but* the display took up only a small portion of the real estate on my screen, the rest was wasted. I could find nothing in the menus or settings to get full screen. I’m pretty sure I tried this several months ago and at that time it worked full screen. If so, maybe an update has messed things up. Another theory I had was that maybe I had somehow downloaded an app meant for an iPhone to my iPad. But from what I have been able to tell, there is only one app covering both devices.

Anyone out there have any insight?
 
Just downloaded it but not at my boat to test it. I noticed it has a 3.7 out of 5 rating.
 
John, Thank you for your reply. I am stumped at this time. I will keep trying but haven't called Garmin yet. If I figure it out I will let you know.
