measured wind angle from the wind sensor. The Manual
option calculates the laylines using manually entered
windward and leeward angles.
Windward Ang. : Allows you to set a layline based on the
windward sailing angle.
Leeward Ang. : Allows you to set a layline based on the leeward
sailing angle.
Tide Correction : Corrects the laylines based on the tide.

changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a
higher number. For laylines that display a higher sensitivity to
changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a
lower number.

Contours
Mapping
WARNING
The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows users
to generate maps. Garmin makes no representations about the
accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the maps
generated by third parties. Any use or reliance on the maps
generated by third parties is at your own risk.
The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows you to
instantly create maps with contours and depth labels for any
body of water.
When Garmin Quickdraw Contours records data, a colored
circle surrounds the vessel icon. This circle represents the
approximate area of the map that is scanned by each pass.
A green circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a
speed under 16 km/h (10 mph). A yellow circle indicates good
depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32 km/h
(10 and 20 mph). A red circle indicates poor depth or GPS
position, and a speed above 32 km/h (20 mph).
You can view Garmin Quickdraw Contours in a combination
screen or as a single view on the map.
The amount of saved data depends on the size of your memory
card, your sonar source, and the speed of your boat as you
record data. You can record longer when you use a single-beam
sonar. It is estimated that you might be able to record about
1,500 hours of data onto a 2 GB memory card.
When you record data on a memory card in your chartplotter,
the new data is added to your existing Garmin Quickdraw
Contours map, and is saved on the memory card. When you
insert a new memory card, the existing data does not transfer
onto the new card.
Mapping a Body of Water Using the Garmin
Quickdraw Contours Feature
Before you can use the Garmin Quickdraw Contours feature,
you must have a supported chartplotter with upgraded software,
sonar depth, your GPS position, and a memory card with free
space.
NOTE: This feature is not available on all models.
