How to Record Sonar Logs With Your Garmin Plotter
Users can record and upload depth information created with the Garmin Quickdraw™ Contours feature to enhance the Fishing layer available on Garmin Navionics+™ and Garmin Navionics Vision+™ mapping products.
Recording Quickdraw Contours
A microSD™ / SD™ card is required to generate and save maps created using Garmin Quickdraw Contours on compatible chartplotters (ECHOMAP™ and GPSMAP® devices)
