Garmin Quickdraw Contours Settings

From a chart, select
> Quickdraw Contours > Settings.
Recording Offset: Sets the distance between the sonar depth
and the contour recording depth. If the water level has
changed since your last recording, adjust this setting so the
recording depth is the same for both recordings.
For example, if the last time you recorded had a sonar depth
of 3.1 m (10.5 ft.), and today's sonar depth is 3.6 m (12 ft.),
enter -0.5 m (-1.5 ft.) for the a Recording Offset value.
User Display Offset: Sets differences in contour depths and
depth labels on your own contours maps to compensate for
changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth
errors in recorded maps.
Comm. Display Offset: Sets differences in contour depths and
depth labels on the community contours maps to compensate
for changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth
errors in recorded maps.
Survey Coloring: Sets the color of the Garmin Quickdraw
Contours display. When this setting is turned on, the colors
indicate the quality of the recording. When this setting is
turned off, the contour areas use standard map colors.
Green indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed
under 16 km/h (10 mph). Yellow indicates good depth and
GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32 km/h (10 and
20 mph). Red indicates poor depth or GPS position, and a
speed above 32 km/h (20 mph).
Depth Range Shading
You can set color ranges on your map to show the water depths
where your target fish are currently biting. You can set deeper
ranges to monitor how quickly the bottom depth changes within
a specific depth range. You can create up to ten depth ranges.
For inland fishing, a maximum of five depth ranges can help
reduce map clutter. The depth ranges apply to all charts and all
bodies of water.
Some Garmin LakeVü
and premium supplemental charts have
multiple depth range shading by default.

Navigation with the STRIKER Vivid
When navigating, the course may pass over land or shallow
water. Use visual sightings, and steer to avoid land, shallow
water, and other dangerous objects.

creates a straight-line course or navigation line to the
destination. The path may run over land and other obstacles.
Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination,
allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides
a straight-line course to the destination, but allows you to add
turns into the route to avoid land and other obstacles.
