Great videos! I’m in Bastrop on the way to Lake Providence bc my 70 year old dad put a Live Scope on his boat bc he heard it was neat. New center console, Garmin UHD 93SV with the Garmin remote controlled trolling motor b4 the Live Scope. He thought it was cool bc it had a clock and water temperature on it. Idk exactly what he has put on there now. Boat has been in the water 1 time in the 9 months he’s had it. Pray for me. And I’m about to test your videos to the max!🤣
Subscribed! Thanks for the content. I cant figure out how you got your map in the right corner. I have a 12 22 I can’t find that lay out in the combo setup. Maybe the layouts are customizable but can’t seem to find it.
I’m not a video maker, but how hard is it to attach your go pro and phone videos, seems you go above and beyond to put stuff together for us and I appreciate it. I can’t remember which dang tool box I put my dang good wire stripper in half the time. Keep on keeping on
I’m new to the Livescope. But wow, this is probably the best resource out there. I don’t subscribe to much but this channel i definitely did. So 1 question. When you refer to “compass” this is the units internal compass in my Garmin and not an optional puck?
Great video! What is the image in the inset picture, and is this available on a Echomap Ultra 106SV? I like the fact that it shows where the Livescope cone is pointing relative to the boat itself.
Great video I've learned ALOT from your videos and appreciate what you do this really drives home the importance of calibration but I do have a question I have my lvs32 mounted on a livesweep at my trolling motor how does that effect calibrating or should I do anything different ? I assume I should keep the transducer pointed forward thanks for any help
Thanks for sharing. What speed do you use your trolling motor at? The instructions says to go quickly doesnt it? So I will try a lower speed and see how well it works.
I need to calibrate my lvs34! I also have a steady cast. Should I recalibrate the steady cast then calibrate the lvs34 one right after another. Or other way around? Or sense my steady cast is already calibrated I just need to do the LVs34? Also I was using your LS settings as base line to start yesterday. I had very clean picture!
You had explain on one your videos how to Calibrate the transducer. Question I have is? Being my transducer is separate from trolling motor. Does the livescope pole needs to be turned in a 90 degree too. Or can it just stay positioned forward
If you don’t have garmin ff sonar. But you use side scan and scroll over to a tree to mark it after you pass it does the way point show where boat is or where tree is???
Awesome video! I have calibrated At 96 and 95 percent. The problem I have is when I set up the split screen on my 8610 with mapping and liver scope this says no transducer connected. I have my lvs32 on the shaft of my trolling motor. I can’t find hometown get it to be recognized in split screen. When I am in regular live scope mode it works fine. Any help is appreciated!
The beam Icon can be set to Head-Up, North Up, Beam Up, or Hide I hate north up its too confusing. Just a note for guys that dont know this is not your map orientation this is that beam icon orientation
@@The_Garmin_Guru i leave it on When its not showing i know i lost calibration The only reason But if i get a steady cast my understanding is it will show the direction of the transducer. Most of us just look at pointer on TM tho
I hear you can’t use the trolling motor to calibrate my livescope if the transducer is mounted to it. Mine is mounted on the shaft does that matter or do I still have to use my outboard to calibrate?
Question, when calibration has been completed, I got 99%, does the cone on the compass match the direction of the transducer? Is there an option to make it match? Thanks for the help, you made my learning so short when I got my 126sv and lvs34 with gls10 box.
having issues after I calibrated my compass. The cone angle is pointing in the opposite direction of where my transducer is pointed. Is there a way to fix this issue, thanks for your help.
When i got a good compass calibration My boat icon is showing 180 off. Like it thinks it’s mounted on the port side instead of the starboard side. What did i do wrong
I have a new Garmin 126 sv with a 2 year old livescope unit . Will not calibrate. I purchased a new update for the GLS 10 last week from Garmin. Installed it with success. Went from version 2.54 to 2.57 on the transducer. But unit still will not calibrate. The status bar never starts when attempting to calibrate. I did have the transducer on the barrel of my terrova so I took it off and remounted it about 12” above the motor to stop the maginic interference. I rebooted the factory defaults, unplugged everything from batteries and black box with still NO luck on calibration. What are your thoughts on this problem?Need help.
I 'm having the same problem after the last update. Going to reload the old update back to the unit. Also the bottom of the picture rocks or just flops. Good luck.
Also, they said I had to buy a heading sensor in order for the cone to point the right direction. It does seem like yours is not quite aligned to the head up direction of your cast. Is that correct?
Yea this is a great video! Thank you! I am referring to the yellow cone on the LVS screen which is not aligned with the purple cone on your purple screen. On my system the LVS cone is N up. It was not helping so I turned it off. How did you get that purple cone to appear on the split screen? I agree that looks more like head up and I would use that for sure. Is that from a bow transducer? I guess only you know which way your transducer is pointing but if it is aligned with the direction of your cone I have to figure this out. Game changer!

@@The_Garmin_Guru I'm guessing that the calibration does require communication between the unit and a GPS satellite or 3. If so, considering that a GPS is accurate to about 10 ft., a larger circle would then provide a more accurate calibration.
@@The_Garmin_Guru I installed a 106sv with livescope and calibrated the compass. Later I added the point 1 and the compass on the livescope was gone. I will try recalibrating the livescope compass.
Only one calibration is present at any given time and it is stored as a Forward OR Down OR Perspective calibration Calibration is not lost when orienting from Down to Forward or vice versa Example: The LVS32 is in Down mode and is calibrated for Down mode. If the transducer is changed to Forward mode, Down mode is still calibrated and will be there if you switch back. The downside is that Forward mode is not calibrated until you do so. As soon as you calibrate Forward mode, the Down calibration is lost Calibration is lost when switching from Forward or Down to Perspective and vice versa Calibration is lost when: Simply starting a new calibration in any mode Physically reorienting from Forward/Down to Perspective and vice versa This means you will not have accurate weigh points if you did not calibrate in the mode you are in or am i reading that wrong? They are not very clear in this description.
So as I have always said, there really is no reason to calibrate. Only if you use way points and maps. And you should always manually put view on Forward and not Auto. Any other reason to calibrate?
No sir. SideVu is too detailed. It’s easier to mark waypoints then pinpoint them with Livescope. Here is a video of giant crappie I would not have caught if not for SideVu ua-cam.com/video/TMIEnHnlJHQ/v-deo.html

Yes sir.
Thanks for sharing. What speed do you use your trolling motor at? The instructions says to go quickly doesnt it? So I will try a lower speed and see how well it works.
I did a whole series on that and found that a slow steady speed works best using the trolling motor
@@The_Garmin_Guru I guess I missed that. Thank you. I will give it a try !
It’s my understanding you put trolling motor/transducer in the water and leave t m off while you circle the boat to calibrate. Works for me.
I did a test and the most accurate is using the trolling motor. I have that video in the Garmin force playlist
Very interesting

How to set up so the beam shows on the map thanks
It’s changed. If you’re looking for the little boat beam that doesn’t exist anymore except in perspective mode
Once you calibrate the compass.. Is that it for good?
Hypothetically yes. But if you switch modes you have to do it again. Either at that mode or when you switch back
@@The_Garmin_Guru You're a great bit of stuff!!
How often should I recalibrate compass?
When you lose that compass rose in the corner. That means it’s lost calibration
Only one calibration is present at any given time and it is stored as a Forward OR Down OR Perspective calibration
Calibration is not lost when orienting from Down to Forward or vice versa
Example: The LVS32 is in Down mode and is calibrated for Down mode. If the transducer is changed to Forward mode, Down mode is still calibrated and will be there if you switch back. The downside is that Forward mode is not calibrated until you do so. As soon as you calibrate Forward mode, the Down calibration is lost
Calibration is lost when switching from Forward or Down to Perspective and vice versa
Calibration is lost when:
Simply starting a new calibration in any mode
Physically reorienting from Forward/Down to Perspective and vice versa
This means you will not have accurate weigh points if you did not calibrate in the mode you are in or am i reading that wrong? They are not very clear in this description.
Sounds dead on to me brother. Good job
So as I have always said, there really is no reason to calibrate. Only if you use way points and maps. And you should always manually put view on Forward and not Auto. Any other reason to calibrate?
It activates the image stabilization feature which is good in rough water
How do you get split screen with map and livescope?
Gotta build a combo
Would you ever consider just using livescope by itself? Why even have the other traditional transducer views anymore?
No sir. SideVu is too detailed. It’s easier to mark waypoints then pinpoint them with Livescope. Here is a video of giant crappie I would not have caught if not for SideVu
