I am ordering the Garmin Live Scope Plus and the Echomap Ultra 106sv. The 106sv can be ordered with or without the GT56TD-TM transducer. Are there any advantages to running both? Is the Live Scope Plus a full substitute for the GT56? In other words, can I utilize the ClearVu and SideVu features available on the 106sv with just the Live Scope Plus transducer? Thanks.

I could run LS only without having SI/DI, but some guys like SI. SI does paint a prettier picture and shows the bottom overall, but LS is all I need. Hopefully you get some more opinions.

Grout-scout, thanks for the input. I've got SI/DI on my console unit, but it's a Lowrance, so no networking. I may just start with the LS, knowing I can add the SI/DI transducer in the future.

Until I got my LVS34 to add to my LVS32 on the trolling motor, I used the GT56 all the time when Livescope was in forward mode. Now that I have one in forward and one in perspective, I don't use the sidevu.

Ring Fry--thanks for the input. Can you run the GT56 and Live Scope at the same time without interference, or do you gave to switch between the two? Thanks.

Should be able to run at the same time. Pick a split screen horizontal view. I run LS on top and SI on the bottom. Make sure the LS on top is your active panel for adjustments. No problems.

SRitchey--That's good news. I was hoping that was the case, but was unsure. Thanks.

Same time, no problem. I did have one on a 1243 and one on a 106.
