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 chart plotter, 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.

Navigation with a Chartplotter

WARNING

• All route and navigation lines displayed on the chart plotter are only intended to provide general route guidance or to identify proper channels and are not intended to be precisely followed. Always defer to the navaids and conditions on the water when navigating to avoid groundings or hazards that could result in vessel damage, personal injury, or death.
• The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings, and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may be in your path.
• When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.\

CAUTION If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot control display must be installed at each steering helm to disable the autopilot system.

NOTE: Some chart views are available with premium charts, in some areas.

• • To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course, or create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart, Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view.
  • You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of three methods: Go To, Route To, or Auto Guidance.
• Go To: Takes you directly to the destination. This is the standard option for navigating to a destination. The chartplotter 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.
• Auto Guidance: Uses the specified information about your vessel and chart data to determine the best path to your destination. This option is available only when using a compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter. It provides a turn-by-turn navigation path to the destination, avoiding land and other obstacles (Auto Guidance, page 43). When you are using a compatible autopilot connected to the chartplotter using NMEA 2000, the autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas. The color of the route line changes depending on several factors.

Troubleshooting

My device will not acquire GPS signals

If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a few causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the last time it acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly.

• Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update the device software (Software Updates, page 138).
• Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the GPS signal.

My device will not turn on or keeps turning off

Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an issue with the power supplied to the device.

• Check these items to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue.
  • Make sure the power source is generating power.
• You can check this in several ways. For example, you can check whether other devices powered by the source are functioning.
  • Check the fuse in the power cable.
• The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohm.
  • Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 12 Vdc.
• To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 12 Vdc, the device will not turn on.
  • If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact Garmin product support.

My device is not creating waypoints in the correct location

You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and share data from one device to the next. If you have manually entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the location of the point does not appear where the point should be, the map datum and position format of the device may not match the map datum and position format originally used to mark the waypoint.

• Position format is how the GPS receiver’s position appears on the screen. This is commonly displayed as latitude/longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for degrees, minutes, and second, degrees only, or one of several grid formats.
• A map datum is a math model which depicts a part of the surface of the earth. Latitude and longitude lines on a paper map are referenced to a specific map datum.

1. Find out which map datum and position format was used when the original waypoint was created.
   If the original waypoint was taken from a map, there should be a legend on the map that lists the map datum and position format used to create that map. Most often this is found near the map key.
2. Select Settings > Preferences > Units.
3. Select the correct map datum and position format settings.
4. Create the waypoint again.
