Great video and content! I have two Echomap units in my boat and one dedicated to Livescope... Agree with the sensitivity, when I use the washdown pump/hose, even a drop of water on the screen causes the screen to pause!@! One thing you did not mention is that the GPSMap supports the HELM feature and you can record video on your phone. Just for that alone, I think I may upgrade. Thanks for the great video.
I agree with you 💯 the menu popping up on the bottom of the screen bugged the crap out of me when I first got my Livescope. Then I found the setting to turn it off. I do a lot of ice fishing also, so a touchscreen with gloves doesn’t work. New sub!
Thanks for watching bud. Glad you enjoyed the video. As a new sub don’t forget to watch the Garmin force ten week review and There is a free giveaway at the end for subscribers.
I’ve fished with several guides on Grenada and Sardis. They’ve all told me they are using GPSMaps for several of those reasons you mentioned. THE KNOB! I’m currently swapping an echoMap to GPSMap at this very moment.
You’re gonna like for all the reasons I mentioned. It also seems like a beefier unit. I would think that is because it made for sailing and offshore boats etc

I am thinking of buying a 1222. I have heard they provide a better picture (more power) than a 126SV? What do you think? I know you like the button. I just want the best picture though and be able to see the fish and my jig the best I can. I can put up wit the touch screen if needed. Thank you !
The first thing I noticed is that the touchscreen icons you was getting aggravated with at first trying to set the distance you can use the +/- buttons on top right for that and that might help you.
I’m sure you have used both so you should know 👍 thanks for the info. I’ve got the 106sv and thinking about going up to the 1222 but I’m not sure if I can tell a big difference between the two any thought on that ?
Yes sir it’s a super nice unit for sure. My big ole sausage fingers just don’t agree with the touchscreen. Lol. Although the new gpsmap interface makes it much better
I have the 126 and like the touchscreen features. I have it hooked up by cable with a 93 unit on the console. Occasionally I will hit the wrong spot, causing it to pause. But it doesn't happen that often. The thing I don't like about the echomap series is that it doesn't support active captain. I am thinking about getting a gpsmap® 1243xsv for the active captain and the hdmi output it offers.
I completely agree with you. The 1022 is the best unit to use with livescope. I have the same problem you have when trying to punch the button on my 106sv. Going to use my 106sv strictly for side imaging :)
Good video. i differ with you. i have one boat with 1242xsv and one with a 1242xsv touch. i SLIGHTLY bumped the knob with my foot on the manual 1242 and it still does not work right. i have to use the enter button on every change. the main knob wont pop back in place. this was a slight bump i assure you. any advice out there? thanks
I purchased this set up and I'm trying to wire it to my black box but the network cables are not the same.. did you get an adapter? There's an 8 pin male connector labeled network on the transducer module and my 1022 has a Ethernet cable that also has a male connector.. did you get a coupler or something?
What is live scope? I'm currently looking for a sounder, considering the Echomap 95sv with GT56UHD transducer and then there's the 95xsv (seemingly no transducer included. The xsv is $1,000 more expensive in Australia 🇦🇺 where I live, plus I'd need to buy the transducer. I have no knowledge of these sounders nor any experience with them. Can't seem to find any good comparisons on xsv compared to sv and see if it is worth the extra dollars.
@@The_Garmin_Guru awesome, I just subscribed to your channel. May I just ask, in your experience, if you had a choice between a 95sv or 753xsv, which would you go for? I'll search your channels videos when I get home from work, but was wondering if you could give an answer in the meantime if at all possible. From what I see, they can both be hooked up to the same live scope, and the xsv has better resolution, but not sure if that better resolution is worth the extra $1,100 or not
@@The_Garmin_Guru No, I hadn't looked at the 1022xsv, only because it's starting to get out of my current price range (1022xsv + GT51M-TM approximately $3,058) The 95sv with 56 transducer is $1,450, the 753xsv with 56 transducer $2,550 (pushing financial limit, but could make it work if its superiority to the 95sv is very noticeable). I'll be moving the unit between a Kayak and 14ft aluminium boat (utilising a 2nd transducer) to save cost on needing two sounders. So, still wouldn't know if 10 inch is too big to mount on a yak.
Looks good. Was the 93 hooked to a different transducer or in simulator mode. I noticed the different depths. Also no ghost tree vs ghost tree in the 1022. I run the 1022 and absolutely agree about the knob. That’s the exact reason I went with it. Thanks for all the videos. Also what software are you running on units/black box
Yea the 93 was on simulator because I don’t have it hooked to the Livescope anymore and just wanted to show the sensitivity the buttons have and how aggravating they are.
Not being able to network a gpsmap and a echomap is the deal breaker for me. I realize it isn’t totally necessary. I have two echomap’s and I mark a lot of waypoints from the console unit with side imaging. The two networked together and sharing waypoints makes it really nice. If Garmin could somehow change the way the menu at the bottom appears. Maybe a single tap in the middle of the screen to bring up the menu and double tap to pause the screen and bring up the crosshairs. I agree though, it can get a little frustrating.
How do you get the DIAL settings saved how you want them. I bought my boat with this already set up and it only has FWD range and Gain on it. I want the depth range to be set on it where I can change it faster as well. Thank you for any help.
I just installed my unit and haven’t had it in the water yet but my knob only has forward range and gain. Was it an update that added the depth range. I’m waiting for my updates to download so I can install them and get out on the water.
To zoom in on the Livescope you simply just decrease the depth and forward distance. Now if you’re looking to zoom in on a particular object in the water it’s a little more complex
I believe they do brother but it’s limited to one setting. I often change a couple settings at a time and I got these fat sausage fingers that make the touchscreen not work as well for me. 😂
@@The_Garmin_Guru I hear ya!!! I’m in the same boat with fat fingers🤣 I’ve fished with both units 1222 and 126sv While the knob on 1222 is quick and handy while searching for fish the 126sv picture quality and resolution is what I went with.

Between the two series when hooked up to livescope, do you notice any lag or latency in real time while jigging? Is one faster than the other?
