Once it’s turned on, users will instantly see contours with labels generated right on the screen as the boat moves – unlike competitor products, there’s no waiting around or sending the files in for remote processing, nor is there a fee to keep the data private or to share it with others.

“Not only is Quickdraw (Contours and Community) free and easy to use, but thanks to Garmin Panoptix™ all-seeing sonar technology, it’s the only map sharing platform to use multi-beam sonar recordings for high quality, accurate and complete HD fishing contours.”Ĭreating Quickdraw Contours data is powerfully simple. “Garmin customers have been collecting Quickdraw Contours mapping and depth data on their devices since the free software feature became available earlier this year, and now they have a way to easily share that data with others,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. The Quickdraw Community builds on the success of the company’s Quickdraw Contours software feature – a free, easy-to-use tool that lets mariners instantly create personalized HD depth maps with 1-foot contours on nearly any body of water – allowing users to easily and quickly share and upload the best data available. Garmin, the global leader in satellite navigation, have announced the Quickdraw Community, a free online user-generated platform where users can share and browse HD depth mapping content, and download the data free of charge to enhance and supplement existing Garmin mapping options.
