    Adding iPad to Active Captain Helm

    Hey all I have Garmin 8612's and I had everything working where I could connect my phone or another ipad(testing) and use the Helm feature and view/control either of the 8612's. I got an iPad Pro 12.9" that will stay in the boat and have it connected to the boats Wifi and I have been able to pair it along with connecting to smart notifications. When I go to Helm however I do not have any devices to choose from and it gives me a message "Connect to chartplotter Wifi to enable this feature". Any one run in to this before or know what I am missing? My phone still works fine and I can see the screen from either 8612 using Helm.

    I got it fixed by going to settings in the active captain app on the iPad then choosing to Reset App. I had to log in again, connect to the boat Wifi, and sync to the units but they now show up in Helm and I can view and control either unit!
