Hey guys, I hope you dig today's video on Panoptix and Livescope! I've posted links to all the products discussed in this video in the description so check that out if you're looking to do some shopping and just in case you were wondering, all of the transducers mentioned also have transom mount configurations although 99% of angers connect them to the trolling motor. Let me know if you have any questions or comments and hope you like it! :)
Great info. I was looking at the transducers and didn’t realize the difference in beam angles. I just “assumed” the $500 model was for the ultra and had compatibility. This video saved me a big frustration and mistake. Thank you!
You're very welcome, I was glad it helped and what you said about not know the angles is exactly one of the reasons why I made the video, there were so many folks confused on what the different transducers did or what they were compatible with. Thanks so much for letting me know the video was useful :)
Hi Dan , great video as always! I have a ECHOMAP Ultra 106sv and ECHOMAP™ UHD 95sv running LiveScope. There is a huge difference in resolution, response times and quality between the two of them. The 106sv is far superior and worth the upgrade.
Oh nice, thank you for the feedback!! I am looking at upgrading my graphs soon and so torn about what I'll be doing. Good to hear you're so pleased with the Ultra series. Thanks for the comments!
Thanks for the very informative video! I currently have the LVS32 and a 9x sv plus unit. Planning to add a 10" Ultra. Currently im annoyed if just stopping for a brief moment looking at a spot from the deep water towards very shallow. It is a hassle to lower the pole for the lvs32 (and lower the motorguide Xi5) and also switch between forward mode and perspective mode (iIhave the garmin mount). Do You think a added LVS12 with transom mount would make it more convenient (even with the narrow beam) so that I check out whats in front of the boat, if I see some interesting fish or structure I would then lower the lvs32. Or is the beam so narrow that when beeing used to LVS32 the LVS 12 doesnt add value?
Hi Bengt, thank you for watching the video and for your really interesting question! So my livescope journey is only just about to begin this winter and then in the boat next spring, so forgive me if I'm not 100% able to answer this. The first point is that I am not quite sure how your solution would help. Your issue is to have better scanning in the front of the boat, so you're proposing to install a LVS12 and just have it mounted facing forward off the transom? So in that case, you would have forward facing and down only, nothing out the back but also no way to point the transducer with any precision aside from just driving around with the big engine. That narrow come might prove to be a pain in the ass to dial in on your target because of using the big engine, there's no way to suddenly stop and lock in your position, your ass end will be swinging around as you try to find fish wit the back transom, as opposed to dropping in the trolling motor and moving around in a controlled manner and making small adjustments. It just sounds like it could pretty frustrating to try and do it that way. I mean, it will show you what's right in front of the boat, but just within that narrow cone. So if you try to move to either side a bit, I think you're going to find that frustrating. Again this is just theoretical as I haven' used the gear myself. Of course, it never hurts to have more visibility around you, I just don't know if it will get the results you want.
Most professional and informative description. Thanks for helping to clarify some of the complexity associated with Garmin Livescope applications. Peace
Good information. And lots of it. Question: with the Echomap ultra sv126 can i display signals from 2 transducers (si and livescope) on screen at the same time
Dan I salmon fish on Lake Michigan and will have to mount to my transom, I already purchsed the lvs32 kit but I am being told I should have gotten the lvs30 as I want to see fish coming to my downriggers, can you please give me some advice, thanks
BRAVO! Liked. Superbly done. Super efficient. Thank you. Do these go on sale? I'm new to fish finders. Interested in the LVS32 and the cheapest 9" screen that it will work with. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind words, really appreciate it! You don't really see Panoptix go on sale but the units definitely go on sale for Black friday, sometimes up to half price!
GREAT VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After watching yours, I decided to get the Panoptix Livescope system. Question - The black box has some serious fins on it. Does this thing get really hot or is it just cosmetics??
The fins are made to ensure good airflow around the box but I don't think it gets too hot because you can install it in compartments. Like it doesn't get hot like an amplifier or a battery charger or anything like that, the amperage draw on this box is super low. Glad you picked one up, I just got one for me too! If you ordered between now and Nov 22, Garmin has a $200 rebate going on it, you can get details on the Garmin website :)
@@DanRichardFishing Thanks for the response. Just prior to msg'ing you, I had sent a msg to Garmin asking the same question. They finally replied last night. According to them, it needs to be in a 'well ventilated area of the boat'. I'm going to have to do some 'thinking' for my boat as it's small, made for fishing flats, and doesn't have a lot of covered storage space to mount things. Keep up the excellent videos!!!
OK! Great job. Complete novice here and wadding through the mud and muck with all this high tech fishing stuff in preparation for my FIRST boat. So? I'll bite as a NEW Subscriber. Informative, not too much "blah, blah, my B-day is .... weather today at the house is... blah, blah, blah"...short, concise, informative, and FRIENDLY! Enjoyed your video, Dan. Thanks!
Glad John asked this question.ok,the lvs32 with the gls10 will work with the 73cv,my question is will the 73cv work with the lvs34 also? Thx Dan for your Great Video.
Hey thank ou for your video. Now there is my question if i have a echomap plus and an echomap chirps can i use the network box to see the gls32 on my echomap chirp to?
I am from Quebec Canada.The species we fish is the speckled trout, the characteristic of this one is that it is held in less than 30 feet.The main technique to catch it is by trolling with a spoon followed by a hook with a worm. Of course it is quite rare with my Humminbird Mega Live G2N Si to distinguish these specimens even with the traditional sounder because as soon as one approaches them the shadow of the boat makes them flee immediately.In these circumstances if I acquire a Garmin GPSMAP 1222 with Panoptix Livescope System Touchscreen Chartplotter an investment of 4310 $ Canadian that can give me a certain advantage in the capture of this trout
Hi fred, I am in Quebec Canada as well! I fish all around Montreal :) So did you end up getting a Livescope? I would think it would be AMAZING for finding fish all around you with the perspective mode! I am buying one this fall to use this winter for ice fishing and then next year in the boat, I can't wait!
I bought the LVS12 after listening to the sales clerk. He didn’t mention the LVS32 at all. I of course had no idea about either of them. I own the 106sv ultra so the black box is not needed. My question is how bad can it be to view the forward and down views at the same time on a split screen? It seems after listening to you that I still will be seeing a pretty large view of watch’s in front and what’s down below. Thank you.
Well you have to figure it will be half the size of the screen as you will need to divide the screen in two and have each view display in one of the halves. With the LVS32, you see it all on the bigger screen, so twice as big. I'm getting a little older so the eyes aren't what they used to be even with my glasses on so the bigger the better in my case lol!
Hello, I recently got a kayak, and it came with the echomap uhd 73sv and was interested in adding panoptix in the future. I was trying to avoid the research and saw this but noticed it's 2 years old. Could you give me an idea of the most budget friendly panoptix kit I could get is? I prefer not having that first generation thing you mentioned with bad images....😅
Voila! ruclips.net/video/1Kyw-ZGDWFA/видео.html If you want to add Livescope, you will need to buy the GLS 10 and the LVS32 transducer, it comes in a bundle. You'l also need some kind of ice fishing transducer pole. I'll be posting a video update on the Ice fishing bundle very soon showing how I added Livescope!
Really enjoyed your video. I have a hobie pro angler 14 360. Looking for some advice on what set up you would recommend to get panotics live scope with the ability for perspective mode side and down imaging with the ability to be able to have maps and be able to mark way points. I know this is a lot of requests. Not sure if this is available in one unit. Also what would you recommend for a battery to run this system. If you would be so kindly to advice on this request that would be awesome Thanks
Hi Randy, that's a beautiful Kayak, that exactly the model I would like to get with the pedal drive system, I'm jealous! If you want to get perspective mode as well as the standard modes, you need to get the LVS32 transducer with the GLS10 black box and then I'd say get yourself a 9" Echomap like the 93SV UHD or whichever model that has maps relevant for you (like if you are in Canada, you'll want a 95sv), you'll be able to do everything with that! For the battery, do yourself a favor and get a lithium. If you don't plan on getting any kind of electric motor for the kayak, then a nice 30AH battery like this one from MTech will work awesome for you and give you power all day no problem: www.mtechlithium.com/collections/lithium-batteries/products/12-volt-33ah-battery The only thing left is you need to decide on what pole you will mount the Livescope on. Fishing Specialties have a very popular option you can check out at fishingspecialties.com/shop/ols/products/kayak-livescope-mount-assembly but I have not tried it personally. Hope that helps!
Hi Dan, looked at video but still trying to figure out. I have the Garmin echomap 74sv. Please tell me what I need to get set up live view. It has the plug in on the back just like the one you showed in the video. Thank-you so much!
Hi Michael, everything you need for Livescope is in this kit: amzn.to/3u4SSW2 Check out this week's video coming on Thursday, I will be unboxing exactly this kit to show you everything inside :)
Hi Todd, you can definitely mount it on the transom, check out my video tomorrow posting at 2PM EST it will be very relevant to your question :) Also have you thought about using a separate transducer pole? I don't use the trolling motor either because I use spotlock a ton so the transducer would always be moving. I'll be installing this on my boat: seelite.myshopify.com/products/seefish-transducer-mount-2-0?_pos=3&_sid=b4eee1e5a&_ss=r
Hi Betty, I am not familiar with a GTA 54 transducer, are you talking about the GT54UHD, the new ones that come with the Ultra units? They are not listed as compatible on the Garmin site on their official compatibility list at www.garmin.com/en-CA/c/marine/boat-sonar-transducers/?productFilterTransducerCompatibility_ECHOMAP=echomap_plus_7sv_9sv¤tPage=1
Dan thank you, Brad here from Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa. Question: I have purchased the Echomap Ultra 102, with LSV 32 and black box. I have a 7m Duck with a Suzuki 350 motor, no trolling motor. Where would you put the LSV32 transducer, on the transam or hull? I need to see infront of me when going out the Knysna Heads. Looking forward to reading your suggestion on placement.
Hi Bradford, my apologies for taking so long to get back to you, did you end up figuring out how to place it? If you need forward facing, what about just getting a transducer pole that clamps on to the front? There are several companies that sell these kinds of devices for exactly your application. So as an example you can get this pole from Summit summitfishingequipment.com/collections/transducer-poles-arms-and-ice-mounts/products/transducer-pole-with-quick-disconnect-mount and then mount it using this: summitfishingequipment.com/collections/transducer-poles-arms-and-ice-mounts/products/summit-pole-boat-mount?variant=33876336017539 with a RAM mount. Would that work for your application?
Hey I was wondering if you know the answer...I have an lvs 32 and a 106 uhd on order. Can I view the lvs32 on my 94sv chirp if I have the network cable attached to the 106?
My question is this...I have a Garmin UHD 93. Can I just but the transducer and the black box and attach the live scope to the ONE UHD unit without having to buy a 2nd screen and then just switch between different views (traditional, live scope, side view, etc) all on one unit?
As long as you have the livescope connected to the unit as well as a transducer for your other views then yes you can plug everything onto one unit. The panoptics black box connects to a different port on the back of the unit then the standard transducer. So for example on my boat I'm going to have livescope connected to my console unit as well as a gt56 transducer on the back of the boat. And then from there I can use the network to share it to any other units I have. Hope that helps!
Hi John I could have sworn I actually answered this.. I do not know what an LVS 30 is I've never heard of this transducer. As far as I know there is only the LVS 32 and the LVS 12. Can you link me to what the 30 is?
I have just bought a Echomap Ultra 125 SV, was just wondering if i can get the menu bar at the bottom to disappear, and reappear when i tap the screen? Just would like to use the full screen when sounding
Ahhh kind of like Windows how the taskbar disappears. I don't believe you can do that, I haven't seen that functionality. Would be cool though! I'll double-check and update if I hear something different.
Another DAN I have a ( echomap uhd 93SV+ transducer) transd is gt54UHD-TM.......(It says panoptix sonar ready on box) now ??????so if I buy( LVS32 & black box and perspective mount) will it be all I need to buy to have working system THX For great VID another DAN
Nope! You can also transom mount it or you can pole mount it on a transducer pole. Check out my unboxing video and I show you everything that it comes with for mounting it! ruclips.net/video/F1LMBURkJSQ/видео.html
I know this is an older video, but you seem to be the only source of info that truly has all this compatability figured out. I have been researching if my Garmin 93SV is compatable with a LVS32 setup (for Crappie)it is a echoMAP™ 93sv PART NUMBER010-01391-02 Not UHD, I don't think it is Chirp, maybe an original model. It DOES have a Panoptics port, and a RJ45 connector, but maybe for original Panoptics? And not Livescope? Hopefully someone sees this and can advise... I am finding conflicting info in searches. Thanks
Hey man I have the garmin echo map chirp sv, are there any options for this unit as far as depth finders go to have any type of panoptics or live scope?
Hi Jay, yes the CHIRP version is compatible with the original Panoptix, but not the Livescope version. So you can get the PS22-TR amzn.to/3DyLoyg or PS31 amzn.to/3lHXEGA transducers for Panoptix :)
Can you network a UHD on the bow to one port on a console mounted Ultra then, connect the livescope to the other Ultra port and watch it on the bow mounted UHD?
I was wondering if you can help. I have a garmin panoptix ps22 ice bundle. It worked fine for a year but now it's been running slow and eventually the screen freezes. I reset the settings, fully charged it and cleaned it, nothing works. Have u ever encountered this situation? What would be the causes? Thanks
OK you're running an Ultra unit correct? I think the only way to diagnose this would be to bring the PS22 to a Garmin dealer and ask them to test it and see if it's the transducer causing the issue or is it the unit. Or if you know someone in your community with an Ultra, maybe ask them to try it. Do you also happen to have a regular ice transducer as well or do you only have the PS22?
No it's not an ultra. The one I have is an ice bundle which comes with the ice carrying bag, ice pole, screen and transducer, 1st generation panoptix, echomap plus 73cv. I've talked to Garmin support so hopefully their suggestions will help. I think it's just a bad battery not getting 12V. So I'll replace it and see if it works. Thanks for your help
So if I listened to your content correctly, I was interested in the lvs 12 to not install black box. I got the on sale garmin at cabelas last year thats around 600bucks when they're normally 12ish. I believe its a UHD 93sv and you're saying the connection would be there but I would get no image? Because I opted out of the box?
The LVS 12 that doesn't require the black box only works with the 10" and 12" ultra units. For the UHD units you need to get the black box and the LVS 30 series transducers. Garmin just released a new one so you can get the previous model fairly cheap on eBay now at least. Hope that helps!
It depends on if you go with the LVS32 and the box or are you going with the LVS12 on an Ultra unit? You can click on the items in the description of the video for pricing :) The Panoptix LVS32 with the black box is around $1800, plus the cost of an Echomap. From there you would need some wiring and some basic tools for the install.
I literally just bought a lvs32 with a garmin echo map ultra 122sv and it came to just under 4000 dollars. It just arrived yesterday in the mail. Gonna be installing it today and using tomorrow hopefully to rip some lips
Hey Dan, Thanks for the awesome explanation. I have a question. Suppose I want a plain old transducer set up (exterior transom mount) with a Garmin unit - say a 93xxx - and separately run a livescope transducer. Is there a Garmin unit that can receive both transducer cables? If not will a network port device do the trick? Assuming also that I can split the screen to see both - or is it one or the other? Thank you.
Hi Tim, the regular transducer and Panoptix transducer actually use two different ports so you can definitely have both connected at the same time. BUT where things get complicated is if you want to run this on a network. The Echomap Ultras have two networking ports, allowing you to network your units AND have the Panoptix plugged in at the same time. Units like the Echomap UHD or the GPSMaps with only 1 network port, you will need a hub to network them if you also have Panoptix installed. Hope that helps!
Yeah Livescope uses 21 watts typically and 58 max draw so it can definitely drink the juice. Probably want to go to a 27 or higher and with all the gadgets we're starting to add, lithium is getting more attractive. I actually have a lithium battery video planned, just waiting for a battery sample to arrive to show in the vid. You should record your build and post a video on it!
Hi Teng, I'm afraid I do not work with Garmin so I'm not really sure but I did find a Garmin Reseller online located in La Union, Philippines called Marnav Marine and the site is marnavmarine.com and they are an authorized Garmin reseller. Hope that helps!
Garmin echomap ad says no black box needed??what exactly does that mean,,my goal is ot have forward facing sonor PERIOD,,already have a tripel shot lowrance that is awesome but no forward facing sonor...bas spro has 12 inch echo map for 1600 today ,,,thats what made me see quotation of no black box,,
You talking to fast , take your time bro. But I like your video. Can you explain panoptix ice fishing sonar possibilities on boat. Wat i sandusers i can use ect... please just take your time
Haha I get told I talk too fast, I talk too slow, talk too long. Damn I can't ever get it right 😂😂😂 Can you explain what you mean by ice fishing on a boat? I will have a video coming up on an ice fishing setup very soon, just waiting for a couple of items to arrive!
That's like saying using a shovel to dig a hole is cheating because you could use a hammer instead. It's just another tool in the arsenal, and just because you can find the fish and see them doesn't mean you can catch them. In my opinion it's a tool that helps you hone in on the fish and see how they react to your baits and how they're schooling and moving around the boat. But if you don't know the basics of how to locate fish in different water conditions and seasons, livescope won't help you.

Hello, I recently got a kayak, and it came with the echomap uhd 73sv and was interested in adding panoptix in the future. I was trying to avoid the research and saw this but noticed it's 2 years old. Could you give me an idea of the most budget friendly panoptix kit I could get is? I prefer not having that first generation thing you mentioned with bad images....😅
So what Pan optics do I buy to run together with my Garmin Ultra 106sv
If you want the best of the best, get the GLS10 and LVS34 bundle :)
I have the Garmin Echomap UHD 95. I was hoping to convert it into the ice bundle. What all would I need to purchase to make it happen?
Voila! ruclips.net/video/1Kyw-ZGDWFA/видео.html
If you want to add Livescope, you will need to buy the GLS 10 and the LVS32 transducer, it comes in a bundle. You'l also need some kind of ice fishing transducer pole. I'll be posting a video update on the Ice fishing bundle very soon showing how I added Livescope!
Really enjoyed your video. I have a hobie pro angler 14 360. Looking for some advice on what set up you would recommend to get panotics live scope with the ability for perspective mode side and down imaging with the ability to be able to have maps and be able to mark way points. I know this is a lot of requests. Not sure if this is available in one unit. Also what would you recommend for a battery to run this system. If you would be so kindly to advice on this request that would be awesome
Thanks
Hi Randy, that's a beautiful Kayak, that exactly the model I would like to get with the pedal drive system, I'm jealous! If you want to get perspective mode as well as the standard modes, you need to get the LVS32 transducer with the GLS10 black box and then I'd say get yourself a 9" Echomap like the 93SV UHD or whichever model that has maps relevant for you (like if you are in Canada, you'll want a 95sv), you'll be able to do everything with that! For the battery, do yourself a favor and get a lithium. If you don't plan on getting any kind of electric motor for the kayak, then a nice 30AH battery like this one from MTech will work awesome for you and give you power all day no problem: www.mtechlithium.com/collections/lithium-batteries/products/12-volt-33ah-battery
The only thing left is you need to decide on what pole you will mount the Livescope on. Fishing Specialties have a very popular option you can check out at fishingspecialties.com/shop/ols/products/kayak-livescope-mount-assembly but I have not tried it personally.
Hope that helps!
Hi Dan, looked at video but still trying to figure out. I have the Garmin echomap 74sv. Please tell me what I need to get set up live view. It has the plug in on the back just like the one you showed in the video. Thank-you so much!
Hi Michael, everything you need for Livescope is in this kit: amzn.to/3u4SSW2
Check out this week's video coming on Thursday, I will be unboxing exactly this kit to show you everything inside :)
What works with the echomap UHD 93sv unit, panoptix or liveScope?
Is the Echomap Ultra 106sv compatable with th LVS34 transducer on the most recet version of the Livescope?
Yes absolutely!
Dan, I do not have a trolling motor on my boat. Can I mount the LVS 32 to the transom next to my regular transducer? Any other recommendations?
Hi Todd, you can definitely mount it on the transom, check out my video tomorrow posting at 2PM EST it will be very relevant to your question :) Also have you thought about using a separate transducer pole? I don't use the trolling motor either because I use spotlock a ton so the transducer would always be moving. I'll be installing this on my boat: seelite.myshopify.com/products/seefish-transducer-mount-2-0?_pos=3&_sid=b4eee1e5a&_ss=r
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍You are the best👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Will the Garmin GTA 54 transducer work on the 93sv plus. I know the GTA 52 will work.
Hi Betty, I am not familiar with a GTA 54 transducer, are you talking about the GT54UHD, the new ones that come with the Ultra units? They are not listed as compatible on the Garmin site on their official compatibility list at www.garmin.com/en-CA/c/marine/boat-sonar-transducers/?productFilterTransducerCompatibility_ECHOMAP=echomap_plus_7sv_9sv¤tPage=1
Dan thank you, Brad here from Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa.
Question:
I have purchased the Echomap Ultra 102, with LSV 32 and black box.
I have a 7m Duck with a Suzuki 350 motor, no trolling motor.
Where would you put the LSV32 transducer, on the transam or hull?
I need to see infront of me when going out the Knysna Heads.
Looking forward to reading your suggestion on placement.
Hi Bradford, my apologies for taking so long to get back to you, did you end up figuring out how to place it? If you need forward facing, what about just getting a transducer pole that clamps on to the front? There are several companies that sell these kinds of devices for exactly your application. So as an example you can get this pole from Summit summitfishingequipment.com/collections/transducer-poles-arms-and-ice-mounts/products/transducer-pole-with-quick-disconnect-mount and then mount it using this: summitfishingequipment.com/collections/transducer-poles-arms-and-ice-mounts/products/summit-pole-boat-mount?variant=33876336017539 with a RAM mount. Would that work for your application?
Can you have two head units displaying the live scope at the same time using the network hub?
Yes, absolutely I do this all the time on my boat!
Hey I was wondering if you know the answer...I have an lvs 32 and a 106 uhd on order. Can I view the lvs32 on my 94sv chirp if I have the network cable attached to the 106?
Is panoptix and livescope same transducer,,the 999 livescope bass pro has is a deal but is it the very old one
I know I'm years late to this post is this compatible with the echomap plus 73sv? I bought the boat used and don't have a manual, thanks
Echo map 126 ultra. What would you install. No sharing. Best view for this screen on bow only. Thanks
My question is this...I have a Garmin UHD 93. Can I just but the transducer and the black box and attach the live scope to the ONE UHD unit without having to buy a 2nd screen and then just switch between different views (traditional, live scope, side view, etc) all on one unit?
As long as you have the livescope connected to the unit as well as a transducer for your other views then yes you can plug everything onto one unit. The panoptics black box connects to a different port on the back of the unit then the standard transducer. So for example on my boat I'm going to have livescope connected to my console unit as well as a gt56 transducer on the back of the boat. And then from there I can use the network to share it to any other units I have. Hope that helps!
Where can I buy the 2 in 1 cable you mention in your video?
Can I install behind my boat where my old transducer was?
Dan I will ask again do you know what is better for a transom mount and trolling and being able to see downriggers, the lvs32 or the 30. Thanks
Hi John I could have sworn I actually answered this.. I do not know what an LVS 30 is I've never heard of this transducer. As far as I know there is only the LVS 32 and the LVS 12. Can you link me to what the 30 is?
@@DanRichardFishing Hello and thanks for your reply. I am sorry I was mistaken its the ps30 Panoptix transom mount its downvu
I have just bought a Echomap Ultra 125 SV, was just wondering if i can get the menu bar at the bottom to disappear, and reappear when i tap the screen? Just would like to use the full screen when sounding
Ahhh kind of like Windows how the taskbar disappears. I don't believe you can do that, I haven't seen that functionality. Would be cool though! I'll double-check and update if I hear something different.
@@DanRichardFishing You can. Home sceeen > Settings > Display > Auto Hide
Hi. The panoptix works with GARMIN ECHOMAP UHD 72 CV ? Thanks
Yes, it sure is!
dan, with the lvs 32 transducer unit, is it when the cable is in the upright that I can get the down and front view?
Another DAN I have a ( echomap uhd 93SV+ transducer) transd is gt54UHD-TM.......(It says panoptix sonar ready on box) now ??????so if I buy( LVS32 & black box and perspective mount) will it be all I need to buy to have working system THX For great VID another DAN
Hey Dan, GREAT NAME! You got it, you need the GLS10 and LVS32 or LVS34 bundle and you're good to go!!
will a garmin 4 pin 93sv power cable work on a garmin gpsmap 1022
great vid
Thank you so much!
So do I need a trolling motor to mount this to? I just had a 94sv installed last year. I want livescope
Nope! You can also transom mount it or you can pole mount it on a transducer pole. Check out my unboxing video and I show you everything that it comes with for mounting it! ruclips.net/video/F1LMBURkJSQ/видео.html
@@DanRichardFishing k I must of missed that video or that part. I’ll check it out. Thanks again
I have 93sv hud with 54 transducer will the Lvs32 work with mine ?
Absolutely just make sure you get the black box as well and it will work fine :)
i have a 93sv has panoptics on back do i just need the 32 and black box?
Correct! :)
I know this is an older video, but you seem to be the only source of info that truly has all this compatability figured out. I have been researching if my Garmin 93SV is compatable with a LVS32 setup (for Crappie)it is a echoMAP™ 93sv
PART NUMBER010-01391-02
Not UHD, I don't think it is Chirp, maybe an original model. It DOES have a Panoptics port, and a RJ45 connector, but maybe for original Panoptics? And not Livescope? Hopefully someone sees this and can advise... I am finding conflicting info in searches. Thanks
Hi,ps 51 is ok for fisching ? Tx
Is there a way to hook it to the boat itself? I have a motorboat, with a Yamaha 40 hp engine
Yes, the transducer can be transom mounted and the hardware needed is included in the box :)
@@DanRichardFishing Thanks a lot! really good vide, much better than any official information :)
If I use panoptix or livescope, I assume I'll still have to use my GT Transducer for my 2D/CV/SV imaging as well. Is that correct?
That's correct, they plug in to 2 different places on your unit so you can have both types connected at the same time.
the stryker plus 8sv will work with livescope ls32 ?
Hi Rush, I'm afraid not, the LVS32 only works with Echomap Plus, UHD and Ultra or with GPSMap units.
Hey man I have the garmin echo map chirp sv, are there any options for this unit as far as depth finders go to have any type of panoptics or live scope?
Hi Jay, yes the CHIRP version is compatible with the original Panoptix, but not the Livescope version. So you can get the PS22-TR amzn.to/3DyLoyg or PS31 amzn.to/3lHXEGA transducers for Panoptix :)
@@DanRichardFishing out of these two which would you recommend?
That's alot of info!
Thanks! I need to do a new video now that the new Livescope Plus is out!
Can you network a UHD on the bow to one port on a console mounted Ultra then, connect the livescope to the other Ultra port and watch it on the bow mounted UHD?
Yes, that should work!
CAN I network to a regular tv in the fishhouse with Network switch
Currently there is no way to mirror the Echomaps unfortunately.
Can a gps1022 be networked with only one transducer
I was wondering if you can help. I have a garmin panoptix ps22 ice bundle. It worked fine for a year but now it's been running slow and eventually the screen freezes. I reset the settings, fully charged it and cleaned it, nothing works. Have u ever encountered this situation? What would be the causes? Thanks
OK you're running an Ultra unit correct? I think the only way to diagnose this would be to bring the PS22 to a Garmin dealer and ask them to test it and see if it's the transducer causing the issue or is it the unit. Or if you know someone in your community with an Ultra, maybe ask them to try it. Do you also happen to have a regular ice transducer as well or do you only have the PS22?
No it's not an ultra. The one I have is an ice bundle which comes with the ice carrying bag, ice pole, screen and transducer, 1st generation panoptix, echomap plus 73cv. I've talked to Garmin support so hopefully their suggestions will help. I think it's just a bad battery not getting 12V. So I'll replace it and see if it works. Thanks for your help
Will the LVS 12 work With echo map uhd 73sv?
No, the LVS12 only works with Ultra units and GPSMap 86xx units.
So if I listened to your content correctly, I was interested in the lvs 12 to not install black box. I got the on sale garmin at cabelas last year thats around 600bucks when they're normally 12ish. I believe its a UHD 93sv and you're saying the connection would be there but I would get no image? Because I opted out of the box?
The LVS 12 that doesn't require the black box only works with the 10" and 12" ultra units. For the UHD units you need to get the black box and the LVS 30 series transducers. Garmin just released a new one so you can get the previous model fairly cheap on eBay now at least. Hope that helps!
So how much would the live scope cost with everything installed on a Bass Tracker?
It depends on if you go with the LVS32 and the box or are you going with the LVS12 on an Ultra unit? You can click on the items in the description of the video for pricing :) The Panoptix LVS32 with the black box is around $1800, plus the cost of an Echomap. From there you would need some wiring and some basic tools for the install.
@@DanRichardFishing
Thanks for the quick response. Great video, added to likes.
I literally just bought a lvs32 with a garmin echo map ultra 122sv and it came to just under 4000 dollars. It just arrived yesterday in the mail. Gonna be installing it today and using tomorrow hopefully to rip some lips
What happens if I use an sp21 on a prospective mount in the horizontal position
it's not listed as a compatible device so it probably doesn't even connect to the adapter unless you MacGyver it on there!
Dan have a EchoMap Chirp 9.5 SV.
Hey Dan, Thanks for the awesome explanation. I have a question. Suppose I want a plain old transducer set up (exterior transom mount) with a Garmin unit - say a 93xxx - and separately run a livescope transducer. Is there a Garmin unit that can receive both transducer cables? If not will a network port device do the trick? Assuming also that I can split the screen to see both - or is it one or the other? Thank you.
Hi Tim, the regular transducer and Panoptix transducer actually use two different ports so you can definitely have both connected at the same time. BUT where things get complicated is if you want to run this on a network. The Echomap Ultras have two networking ports, allowing you to network your units AND have the Panoptix plugged in at the same time. Units like the Echomap UHD or the GPSMaps with only 1 network port, you will need a hub to network them if you also have Panoptix installed. Hope that helps!
@@DanRichardFishing Thanks!
Need to talk about how much power live scope uses! Building a lithium battery for my buddy
Yeah Livescope uses 21 watts typically and 58 max draw so it can definitely drink the juice. Probably want to go to a 27 or higher and with all the gadgets we're starting to add, lithium is getting more attractive. I actually have a lithium battery video planned, just waiting for a battery sample to arrive to show in the vid. You should record your build and post a video on it!
I just looked at the livescope plus and it said works with UHD2 93sv... done.
Garmin is the KING of marketing. They keep you spending.
Yep, they're definitely the Apple of the fishing world lol! But they do make nice stuff and their customer service is phenomenal.
Now I have a problem with Simulator screen 93 UHD, I cannot see my livescope lvs34
Sir i need to buy gamin radar im here in the philippine can you provide me a contct to get this sir?
Hi Teng, I'm afraid I do not work with Garmin so I'm not really sure but I did find a Garmin Reseller online located in La Union, Philippines called Marnav Marine and the site is marnavmarine.com and they are an authorized Garmin reseller. Hope that helps!
@@DanRichardFishing thank you very much to your reply sir.
Garmin echomap ad says no black box needed??what exactly does that mean,,my goal is ot have forward facing sonor PERIOD,,already have a tripel shot lowrance that is awesome but no forward facing sonor...bas spro has 12 inch echo map for 1600 today ,,,thats what made me see quotation of no black box,,
is it worth to take lvs12 if you have ultra already?
It's really a question of budget.. if you have the budget for the LVS32, I suggest getting the lvs32 setup, your field of view is just so much better.
What about LVS 34 😊🙃
Hahah wasn't around when this video was made. Treat that like the LVS 32 :)
The goalposts always moving,like a mirage in the desert,you think you got somewhere only to discover its moved on again..
I too have deep thoughts in the shower 😳
Wood is way cheaper than the live scope 😃
You talking to fast , take your time bro. But I like your video.
Can you explain panoptix ice fishing sonar possibilities on boat. Wat i sandusers i can use ect... please just take your time
Haha I get told I talk too fast, I talk too slow, talk too long. Damn I can't ever get it right 😂😂😂
Can you explain what you mean by ice fishing on a boat? I will have a video coming up on an ice fishing setup very soon, just waiting for a couple of items to arrive!
This is for fresh water only
watched a video on these and the dude said it's not fishing...it's basically cheating lol
That's like saying using a shovel to dig a hole is cheating because you could use a hammer instead. It's just another tool in the arsenal, and just because you can find the fish and see them doesn't mean you can catch them. In my opinion it's a tool that helps you hone in on the fish and see how they react to your baits and how they're schooling and moving around the boat. But if you don't know the basics of how to locate fish in different water conditions and seasons, livescope won't help you.
Just bought a 1993 Nitro and the old owner gave me a Garmin UHD 63cv brand new in the box . I don’t believe it’s Panoptics compatible………
