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.
