Garmin Quickdraw™ Contours
Mapping
The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping
feature allows you to create maps with
contours and depth labels to increase the
accuracy of existing maps.
When you record data using Garmin Quick-
draw Contours mapping, you should use
a Speed Class 10 memory card to ensure
that your device has enough processing
speed. 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.
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 indi-
cates 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.
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.

ed chartplotter with upgraded software, so-
nar depth, your GPS position, and a memory
