The Garmin® website at presents up-to-date information about your product. NOTE: Not all features are available on all models. 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. All route and navigation lines displayed on the chartplotter are only intended to provide general route guidance or to identify proper channels, and are not intended to be precisely followed. Lack of that computer functionality appears to be intentional to encourage people to upload to Quickdraw Community, and is sleazy, in my opinion.WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. I thought I would be picking my ice hole spots from home, then uploading them to my handheld GPS and walking right to the spot, all with a hard copy of the map in my hands. Can't view quickdraw maps on computer to study at home and plan trips. Quickdraw doesn't show colour coded contours while recording, it shows in green/white where you have/haven't recorded, so you can't take advantage of the colour coded topo until your map is 'done'. Quickdraw doesn't use the Lakeview files as a base and improve them, it uses a quickdraw base map which doesn't even show the shoreline in the right place in my neck of the woods. From a mapping standpoint it has been way below my hopes & expectations, but there's not a lot of info online, so I don't feel so bad about having taken the risk and lost. ![]() Overall the chart plotter has been a revelation for marking fish, which is neat, but not that important to me. They might even be receptive to my concern about sharing a map of where I fish. The other thing I can and should do is ask Garmin to upgrade their software. Having realized the limitations of my SV95, I'm much more likely to put together an ice kit so I can get the function I was hoping for, at least when it's warm out. I ice fish in -20C and below a lot, so I don't really want to subject my Garmin to that, having seen the toll it can take on my much simpler Marcum LX-5. I haven't tried the Active Captain app - I'll look into it, thank you for that prompt. It does show pre-purchased maps, but the Canada Lakeview 2016 which came with my 95sv is in 15 or 30ft increments for the lakes around me and low accuracy at that. Homeport shows my waypoints and tracks, but doesn't show my quickdraw contours, which is what I'm really after. (I realize that when I then turnaround and use Facebook I'm a big hypocrite, but it doesn't change how I feel.) ![]() Beyond that, I simply can't get over the fact that I'm paying Garmin over $1000 for the privilege to spend my time and gas to make something that directly benefits them. So if I do 3-4 trips to a lake over a summer, then upload, I'm not providing much in terms of mapping, but I'm giving a very clear map of where I fish. ![]() It would take 1000s of hours to map just one of our big lakes (sounds like the panoptix 'ducers make it go much quicker, and will be one more reason to get the upgrade for me). Up here we have many large lakes and very few people. AlgaeKilla, you're right, I could choose to take a generous approach to it, to a great extent my outlook is specific to my location. ![]()
