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.
