I keep all settings at default and only make adjustments to gain, forward range, and depth range.

Lower the depth lower the gain. Deeper the depth higher the gain.

I keep my gain on average 58-68, forward range at 20’, depth adjustments as needed to keep the bottom of the lake at the bottom of the screen.

just wondering; just bought a uhd 94sv, can I also add the lake maps too and run both

I have a Striker clear vue. 5cv. New to this sort of electronics, not experienced in electronics. I bought this as a starter unit, and because of current financial limitations. Lol. I can not seem to get this thing adjusted. I have been pkaying around with it for a while. I just cant seem to get the deffinition out of it, I see on the demos. I have tried to get in the trees at aquilla, cant see the trees! Lol. I know they are there, its aquilla! Any recomendations? Im using this fishing whitney, aquilla and lake pat.

So has the Echo replaced the 1242xsv as the newest version of the Garmin 12"? Main differences?

Are you running your live scope setup on the 12v battery or a higher voltage battery just for it?

Problem: I installed the latest software version and now my side imaging isn’t working, I get a notice on my screen that my transducer is disconnected (which it is not). Could this be the new software or just a coincidence that it happened. Fix?

Wow , I was just about to ask if the software updates were causing any issues,

Maybe I leave it alone for a while.

Do we have a Garmin Field Rep on board ?

thanks

The software updates on my EchoMap Ultra 122's have caused no issues.

Just downloaded Garmin update, It looks like a zip file. do I need to open it before loading on to the memory card ??

thanks

To answer my own question ,

use the file as it is downloaded, copy onto memory card and put card in unit. This according to Garmin customer service


maybe this helps someone

Just purchased a Garmin 126sv with the GT 54 transducer, and a livescope transducer
I want to put both transducers on my ultrex trolling motor. Would there be any interference between the 2?
what is the way to run the cables? Was also waiting to know the best way to hook the Garmin 126 up on the
bow of my 20ft Skeeter. Do I need to hook straight to my perko power switch or straight to the battery,
With dedicated switch and what size and type of wire? Thanks for any positive feedback!!

I'm new to garmin, I assume the premium map chip is better and worth the money? ???? The maps it came with are garbage

It has some cool features for some of the lakes. My lake is down 24’ and I can drop the contour lines to match, but not all lakes have that feature. I would think with the popularity of the lakes in your region, yours would be too.


But you are allowed 1 free update to your built in map, do it first. I updated my card and it helped, but it’s still not as accurate as my navionics card is.

I bought my ultra card on 20% off Black Friday sale and they had a Garmin rebate, which made it better. $200 would be questionable.

what garmin livescope has the largest screen but not touch screen, im looking for a 10 or 12. dont think the y make an 11.

also will garmin use a navionics map card?

A buddy just bought a new boat and picked up a Garmin unit. Not sure about the carppy plastic transducer mounting bracket. Every Lowrance I have owned has had a metal bracket.
