Garmin Quickdraw
™
Contours Mapping
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 a good GPS position. A
red circle indicates that the depth or GPS position data is
unavailable.
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.
