Supported Maps To help you have a safe and enjoyable time on the water, Garmin devices only support official maps produced by Garmin or an approved third party producer. You can purchase maps from Garmin. If you purchase maps from a seller other than Garmin, investigate the seller before purchasing. Be extra cautious with online sellers. If you have purchased an unsupported map, return it to the seller. Garmin Quickdraw Contours Mapping WARNING The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows users to generate maps. Garmin makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the maps generated by third 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. Mapping a Body of Water Using the Garmin Quickdraw Contours Feature Before you can use the Garmin Quickdraw Contours feature, you must have sonar depth, your GPS position, and a memory card with free space. 1 From a chart view, select MENU > Quickdraw Contours > Start Recording. 2 When recording is complete, select MENU > Quickdraw Contours > Stop Recording. 3 Select Manage > Name, and enter a name for the map. Adding a Label to a Garmin Quickdraw Contours Map You can add labels to a Garmin Quickdraw Contours map to mark hazards or points of interest. 1 From the Navigation chart, select a location. 2 Select Add Quickdraw Label. 3 Enter text for the label, and select Done. Garmin Quickdraw Community The Garmin Quickdraw Community is a free, public, online community that enables you to share your Garmin Quickdraw Contours maps with others. You can also download maps other users have created. If your device has Wi‑Fi technology, you can use the ActiveCaptain app to access the Garmin Quickdraw Community (Connecting to the Garmin Quickdraw Community with ActiveCaptain, page 10). If your device does not have Wi‑Fi technology, you can use the Garmin Connect™ website to access the Garmin Quickdraw Community (Connecting to the Garmin Quickdraw Community with Garmin Connect, page 11). Connecting to the Garmin Quickdraw Community with ActiveCaptain 1 From your mobile device, open the ActiveCaptain app and connect to the ECHOMAP UHD device (Getting Started with the ActiveCaptain App, page 3). 2 From the app, select Quickdraw Community. You can download contours from others in the community (Downloading Garmin Quickdraw Community Maps Using ActiveCaptain, page 10) and share the contours you have created (Sharing Your Garmin Quickdraw Contours Maps with the Garmin Quickdraw Community Using ActiveCaptain, page 11). Downloading Garmin Quickdraw Community Maps Using ActiveCaptain You can download Garmin Quickdraw Contours maps that other users have created and shared with the Garmin Quickdraw Community. 1 From the ActiveCaptain app on your mobile device, select Quickdraw Community > Search for Contours. 2 Use the map and search features to locate an area to download. The red dots represent Garmin Quickdraw Contours maps that have been shared for that area. 3 Select Select Download Region. 4 Drag the box to select the area to download. 5 Drag the corners to change the download area. 6 Select Download Area. The next time you connect the ActiveCaptain app to the ECHOMAP UHD device, the downloaded contours are transferred to the device automatically. 10 Garmin Quickdraw Contours Mapping

To help you have a safe and enjoyable time on the water,

Garmin devices only support official maps produced by Garmin

Garmin Quickdraw Contours Mapping

WARNING

The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows users

to generate maps. Garmin makes no representations about the

accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the maps

generated by third 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

insert a new memory card, the existing data does not transfer

onto the new card.
