Garmin Livescope Settings Guide: All In One

[@WillStorey_]

This is the best livescope video I've ever watched

[@davidc.9933]

By far

[@MegaMagaTrumpsavingAmerica]

This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen! Thank you for all you do supporting the average fisherman with your personal professional knowledge. You are the Man!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you for the kind words bud

[@davidc.9933]

I jave been watching many of these to figure out my lvs62 investment. Good cuts, i think you, or someone else did a 2 hour where they explained batteries, etc.....as an engineer, i dont need that, i need tips that reduce me spending 5 hours tuning the device. Thanks, glad there are still real ppl out there makimg useful content.

[@jpfishing95]

This guy is dropping straight GAME on you folks. There's guys out here that charge 500 a day to go out and learn the units and settings and how to use it. If you were a newbie and aren't in tune with your graphs this is a gold mine

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks brother. I do on the water for 200

[@randyjohnson8717]

New to livescope only had it out 4 times. Watched alot if videos on settings this the best one by far. Thanks

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks bud

[@tbstetson]

Great video, I am an old HB guy but was dissatisfied with HB ML with their current Solix software version. I switched to Garmin 126sv upfront with LS & working to enhance my skills. You do a great job of explaining the settings & what they do with Livescope

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you for watching bud

[@neverhomeguideservice]

Watched again. Took better notes. The transcript makes it even better. Look listen read. Thanks again. Getting there…..

[@maxcole3930]

I've only had my lvs34 about a month. But I've watched so many vids about it, mostly yours. & Also read alot before hand for while before I had it. So I feel like I had a good grasp what to adjust. Obviously still learning, that never ends!

[@randymanning7779]

Thanks for all your advise with the Garmin livescope. I just got mind set up in my Hobie pro angler and was wondering what videos you would recommend to start out with. I have the lvs32 and I have the heading sensor as well. Currently I only have one monitor which can use my side and down scan and mapping. I know with your knowledge and experience you can get me kicked off in the right direction Hope to hear back from you soon Thanks Randy

[@michaelkersey3227]

Great video and clears up a lot of misunderstanding that I had about the settings.

[@clintevans3886]

That has got to be the best explanation of settings I've seen. Thanks for all your hard work and help. I'm definitely going to go through all of this when the weather settles down.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you bud

[@JamesTowater-cd8nb]

Very thorough and informative

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ronf1805]

One of your BEST VIDEOS!!!!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you sir. That’s a small piece of my masterclass

[@blogbybryan]

This is over the top good for a new guy. Thanks so much!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Try watching the complete masterclass video. It’s even more in depth

[@toddbailey8946]

Wow, that was so helpful!! I have watched at lot of GG videos but this one helped understand what everything means vs just plugging in settings that people recommend. Ijust got back on the water today In Illinois and only used my 34 about 10 times last year. Can’t wait til tomorrow to put all this to use. TY Randy

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks bud

[@wickedbassn]

Just got the 1222 and lvs 34. Haven't put it on my boat yet, but these videos are helpful. 👍

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad I could help

[@natureboyfishing4380]

Great explanation. I can’t wait to try the focus aspect.

[@BamaBassCatcher99]

Excellent info. Thanks. You didn’t cover distance. Is there a min / max distance you run the LVS34?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s in the masterclass video

[@MiguelRodriguez-zv1gz]

Very good video. Can’t watch it enough to become familiar with Garmin unit.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robertredden7529]

Great video again Randy

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thomasthesing7452]

Thanks for the informative video, I took notes and will try your recommended settings. I'm 63yo and bought my retirement boat recently with a 106 sv with the 34 transducer along with a Helix at the bow. I have what seems like a dumb question: The depth of the water on the Garmin is about 4ft shallower then the correct depth on the Helix, how do I adjust it to show the true depth? thanks

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Depth offset

[@shawnpowell2871]

Thank you so much best video I have seen on this

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Wow, thanks!

[@billynoble9053]

Thanks for all you do, still watching and learning. Stay SAFE

[@nickc8629]

Love all your videos but this was the best one yet! Keep at it!!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks so much!!

[@donniedickerson8077]

Great Job 👍, Is The Last Garmin Update Worth Doing As Far As The Picture ,It's Been Out A While Now, I Know You Reviewed It Back At That Time ,But Now That You Have Been Running On That Update, Would It Help With The Picture,, I'm using A 32 Transducer, Preciate Ya Guru 🐟 🎣

[@marqsman84]

Thanks Randy Carpenter great video sir

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jmc442]

Great video,great explanation of the set up,thank you

[@danielnowak7628]

All things Live scope was A AWESOME video and it helped mr alot! Thank you Randy!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Very welcome

[@dvomni3342]

Great video! Question: (maybe a video on this?) It seems at times that when ‘aiming’ my livescope directly at something it doesn’t show up as well as aiming to the left or right of it. It’s also difficult for me to tell left&right distance from center. Thanks for your work here! Echomap Ultra here

[@craighuxley3803]

Thank you, fantastic explanation

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@larryphillips8751]

Best video I have ever Seen.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks brother

[@tomsawyer6930]

Great video best I have seen

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Wow, thanks!

[@darrellbarlow3975]

Question, want to make sure I hear you correct. If you’re mounting your transducer to the trolling motor then you need an 8 degree mount but if you’re mounting to a pole, I have a “Rite-Hite” turrent pole that mounts to the starboard side of the trolling motor, that I should use an “0” degree mount. I’ll take any help.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes sir sounds correct

[@johng8049]

I have had my unit out 2x since i finished the install. Your videos help me get my unit tuned in so good Im seeing my 1/8 shaky head at 45ft out. I seen so many fish follow my lure to the bottom and im screaming at the screen EAT IT lol.The home owners on the lake must think im nuts. Can you do a video on how to make those fish bite LOL

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Hahaha. In my experience if they don’t bite initially move on. At least you’re casting at fish instead of blind casting

[@donkswampey3874]

Excellent video man, great job. Much appreciated!

[@kevinkirby2332]

This was awesome, thank you for explaining!

[@tiachirichardson1110]

I've got a question, me and my son got a lvs34 earliest this year, one thing we have a problem with on occasion is that the screen gets real dark, is that because of glare or can u adjust the brightness of the screen, great video thanks for the onfo.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Press the power button and adjust the backlight from auto to 100%

[@tiachirichardson1110]

Ok thanks buddy, I'm new to your channel and appreciate u getting back to me so fast, thanks.

[@fuzzyfultz]

awesome video Randy. Thank you.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@charliehazzard1713]

Can this guide and talking points adjustments be applied to all of the other sonar features on the Garmins, Like Clear vu, Side Vu, Traditional, etc. If not, do you have a basics 101 video to go over these sonar options?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I have some videos on that stuff in a playlist

[@rodneymason5566]

I went out yesterday and it was the first time it happened and my screen on my livescope seemed to be going slower than it always has, what is there to do to fix it

[@jimwaller5465]

Great Video. Thank you!

Great info, thanks

[@tomlavey2717]

Great video!!!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad you liked it!

[@bobsteenrod5951]

It would help me if you would clarify the order in which you make adjustments. For example of a given day do you start out with focus and then begin with gain and then make minor adjustments or what order would you suggest? thank you.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I never adjust my settings. EVER!!!! Too many folks think you have to constantly adjust your settings

[@bobsteenrod5951]

​@Garmin Guru: All Things Livescope And Fishing I understand, but you need to have a starting point to set up your settings before You can leave them in a position where you can leave them alone. I would be curious about the order in which you go about that process. TKS

Excellent sir. Thanks.

[@jeffmurphy9987]

I have a UHD2 54cv running latest version of Vision Plus each time I turn it on after I acknowledge the safety warning there’s a warning active captain card removed or missing it goes away quickly then it warns me that maps cannot be unlocked which has to be acknowledged before the unit will go to startup screen. After that unit seems to function properly. Any ideas what is causing this or if it’s normal? Thanks in advance I really enjoy your videos.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s just saying that you haven’t purchased any new maps. All is good

[@johnforrester2666]

Awesome video thanks for the info

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Any time!

[@GalaxyRods]

Do we have to reset all these settings every time we turn the unit on or off, or will it stay?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

They will stay

[@armourpc]

Garmin hall of fame!

[@rickylynnwilliams1390]

With this video are ALL other settings at default? AHRS on for instance.

[@danielnowak7628]

Did the DD26 pointer tip glow for long time?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It glowed prolly close to an hour but it charges in about 30 seconds.

[@derekcross3808]

Good video sometime do a video on setting for seeing crappie on the bottom that’s my biggest problem with livescope

[@natureboyfishing4380]

I think between the focus and adding more depth it should help seeing them on the bottom.

You can preset all the settings

I might have missed it, but was the transducer in forward facing or down mode? Would it matter? Thanks.

Forward in this video

[@scottalspach8020]

So I'm one of the poor folk who can only afford the 93sv and I'm not finding after many hours of monkeying around the settings you are showing. I'm not finding ghost reject, noise reject, color gain. Am I fishing to cheap of a sonar, or just not understanding the unit? Thanks.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Some of the older units didnt support those updates

[@Rocksolidamerican]

How do you set scope where you can see the splash on the surface as far out as 90 feet ?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Honestly you should be able to but realizing the beam is 30 feet wide that’s a lot of surface to show in a 2d image so it might not be as visible. And honestly I never put mine on anything past 50-60 feet.

[@Rocksolidamerican]

I just subscribed over this video, others on here charge for that kind of detail. Thank you

[@cj_legion4217]

I have been searching online for this but how do you make the menu that includes the sonar setup only half screen. For mine it is full

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Depends on the unit as to the layout

[@cj_legion4217]

@@The_Garmin_Guru ohh. That would make sense that I can not find it since I am just searching for livescope and not the individual unit. Sc93 uhd. Thanks

[@danielnowak7628]

Thanks

[@RICHIE26636]

With the 10 foot rule you can still pinch and zoom if you want to max your screen. I use the zoom to see better because of my old eyes. LOL

[@steveking8548]

Randy, this is the best video yet! One suggestion? Have you considered showing your video in chapters? Here's a hockey site that shows chapters (let your cursor hover over the timeline): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mae7pY2vYpaGibc Or sometimes other sites show this in the author's comments. For example: 1. Gain: 1:43 2. TVG: 4:08 3. Ghost Tree Reject: 9:40 4. Noise Reject: 15:26 5. Color Gain: 17:36 6. Color Limit: 21:54 7. Focus: 25:10 8. Set Depth: 30:00 Thanks again for your best video to date!!!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

After the video is on here a while KZbin will add those in ten timeline.

[@CraigWest-v5i]

How to mark on my lvs34

[@tomrieger27]

This is all good info, but I wish you would have used the exact same color pallet for each one to keep it consistent.

[@chuckheidt4093]

Quit watching after 1:32 when you said nothing of value...
