Create or Improve Existing Fishing Maps with Garmin® QuickdrawTM Contours

OLATHE, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced Quickdraw Contours, a free, easy-to-use software feature that
lets mariners instantly create personalized HD fishing maps with 1-foot
contours on any body of water. Quickdraw Contours results appear
instantly on a compatible Garmin sonar-enabled chartplotter and the maps
can be kept private or shared with others at no cost.

“This is a great way to supplement Garmin mapping options and improve
your time on the water,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of
worldwide sales. “With Quickdraw Contours, you’ll no longer have to
worry about not having coverage of your local lake or body of water. And
while the data is being collected, your system will tell you where
you’ve been so you can be confident you’re getting the most
comprehensive coverage.”

Quickdraw Contours is powerfully simple. Once it’s turned on, users will
instantly see contours with labels generated right on the screen as the
boat moves – there’s no waiting around or sending the files to Garmin.
The results are quick and accurate, and can be viewed in real-time, or
created in the background for use at a later time. For the most
comprehensive coverage, Quickdraw Contours clearly shows where usable
depth information has been collected and where gaps exist, so users can
easily see what still needs to be collected.

To further customize and tailor the data to meet customer needs,
Quickdraw Contours also offers user-generated points of interest (POI)
and waypoints. The POIs can be used to notate interesting information
about a particular location, and waypoints can be added to mark a
favorite spot or notable location for future reference.

The collected data can be stored on any off-the-shelf SD or microSDTM
card, as well as existing Garmin BlueChart® g2, BlueChart g2
Vision® and LakeVü HD Ultra cards. Once the Quickdraw
Contours data has been collected, users can opt to share it with others
simply by copying the files to another card, or they can choose to keep
it private; Garmin does not require that the data be shared, nor is
there a fee to keep it private.

This software feature will come standard on the new 2016 echoMAP®
CHIRP products, and will be available as a free software update for all
other echoMAP and many GPSMAP® series products. It can be
used with any depth transducer, including Garmin PanoptixTM,
HD-IDTM, DownVü, and NMEA 2000 transducers. To learn more
