Calibrating Your Garmin Livescope and Why It’s Important
• Calibrating Your Garmi...
I agree with you that using the trolling motor is the way to go. The trolling motor will be on while you’re using LiveScope,so to me it should be calibrated while it’s on.
Agreed
Great test your the man, doing what it takes to be fair to Garmin and the trolling motor 👍
YOU ARE THE GURU BRU!
Another easy to understand video.
Keep up the GREAT WORK!
Thank you brother. Glad you enjoyed
Thank you brother. Glad you enjoyed
Thanks brother, this is what I was looking for.
Glad I could help
When I calibrate my Garmin, I use my Ultrex 80lb thrust on 10 which of course is wide open and I get a 98 on the environment and a 99 on turn, so maybe you should try turning your Force on high and get a better reading….idk 🤷🏼♂️
I’ll try that. Good idea bud. Maybe a test coming.
Thanks for sharing. Good info as always!
Thanks for watching bud. I’ll also be comparing this to calibration with the truck which is also an option
Don't forget to try holding the transducer in your hand to calibrate the compass
That will be hard for me cause it’s attached to a pole. But I might take it off for the ice guys.
@@The_Garmin_Guru Just an idea, even if you don't do it, it's worth mentioning. I'm building a portable shuttle, not for ice fishing but one I can use on different boats and also use on my dock so doing the hand calibration is how I plan to get started. Jason Young 818 Outdoors has a good video on hand calibration, Thanks
The turning circumference with the outboard was much large that the trolling motors. Could that make the difference?
I believe so. I turned as sharp as the motor would allow.
Had issues trying to calibrate my livescope yesterday. Tried it with the trolling moto and outboard. Spin was good but the magnetic environment was at %17. Maybe because its mounted on my terranova trolling motor barrel. Never had issues with it before when I had it on the minnkota edge.
With Minn Kota it’s best to turn motor off completely
Yeah I turned it off and unplugged my uhd93 transducer that is also mounted on the trolling motor barrel.
Thanks for helping me out once again. What transducer pole are you using?
I use the livefoot pole
Mr Garmin guy. I was recommended to reach out to you by Chris at a sleep at the real to see if you could help me out. I have a 93 SV UHD Garmin and did the calibration with high percentage. But when all was done the little boat indicator popped up on top right of screen and showed the beam opposite direction of where I was pointing my life scope. So if I was facing true north the beam would be facing true South. Thank you for any help.

I have the same problem, What can I do
Anyone else want to hold the top of the computer to stop the rattling? I reached for it and realized it was the video.
Prolly as bad as wanna put tape over your mouth. 😂 jk
Yeah but you have a brushless trolling motor.
And?!?!?
Can this be done even if the transducer is mounted on the trolling motor shaft?
Yea sir
Thanks so much loving the channel. Got the force and two 93 sv. Just got the new 34 live scope haven’t even got to go to the lake yet. Got to save a little before I get it off the trolling motor shaft. Thank for all the information save me tons of trouble kept me fishing and not frustrated.
Im new to livescope, so im sorry if this is a dumb question. But do u calibrate the compass with the livescope on, and in the water?
Yes sir you do
@@The_Garmin_Guru thanks for the reply!
I followed that process for the steady cast. Do I need to do this again just for LS? Thank you
Honestly bud I would not know the answer but I would think not but calibrating is so easy and fast it wouldn’t hurt
Does the LS calibration have to be redone when changing chart plotters or does it stay with the black box?
I have never done that but it’s pretty easy so if you have to shouldn’t take long.
I saved for a year and just bought garmin force and 93sv. Am I gonna have to do this on mine as well?
It makes Livescope so much better bud. Easy to do
should I calibrate it on a bellyboat and how?
What is a belly boat bud.
@@The_Garmin_Guru hahaha.... ok.... just google it....
I’ll
Google it. I really have no idea on this one
I try calibrating my LS today, using the trolley motor and it fail ( magnetic 5% spin 90%) I even try the main motor and still fail, same result, what u think it could be?
What kind of trolling motor.
You could possible have some wiring interference also
@@The_Garmin_Guru ultrex
How do you change north button?
To what brother
@The_Garmin_Guru
How do I change the north button to just stay on heading I am on.
