Garmin Marine Webinars: Panoptix LiveScope Advanced Settings and Troubleshooting

[@joshuagreene9976]

This time of year makes using livescope more troublesome on reservoir lakes like where I live with the spring rain and debri in the water from rising water levels (+25ft in 1 month). Great video, helpful info lets me know my unit isn't bad it's just tough conditions for livescope, so settings have to be adjusted more often.

Hello, can I download the presentation file shown in the video separately?

[@bengtsoderlund7455]

Very helpful! Thanks for the tips

[@kevinwill8542]

great video..thanks

[@A-aronTrekn]

Have you guys considered putting your info from these webinars in a hard copy downloadable file for reference to users? I think it would be an awesome benefit instead of looking back and watching a video when you can have a guide. Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Aaron, thanks for sharing your ideas with us! Please be sure to share them directly with our innovators through this portal: www.garmin.com/ideas -MR

I would suggest DYI for the best way to obtain a hard copy: For each slide, you can use the "print screen" option on your keyboard, paste it into the paint program, use the print function to make an Adobe document of it, save that document, then combine all the slides into 1 Adobe document. There are about 17 slides in this video.

If using an auxiliary pole mount and typically fishing from 10-30 ft.... would you recommend the 8 degree mount or the zero degree mount ? Sometimes in 30 ft of water the jig disappears in the deeper water .... ????

[@GarminInt]

If you're using a different pole mount, I'd recommend the 0°. The 30° is recommended for shaft mounts and trying to get around a trolling motor. -MR

[@KTthe1true]

i don’t have the ahrs option

[@larryjack9607]

What is your opinion on do most people prefer to use the perspective view or which ???

[@GarminInt]

It's hard to say. It really depends on the individual and the type of fishing they're doing as well as the location. -MR

[@MrTNBassmaster]

I would say forward view

[@madara12regio]

@@GarminInt lol your product good only for crappie, and cannot use in 60 meters accurately i will stick in full circle scanning sonar 3d.

[@rdonner28]

Thanks!!!!

[@retreatlodge]

So I have dead spots on the bottom in down and forward view, I'm ice fishing and use a pole mount, bottom is 20' silt/sand what's the best way to fill in the dead spots?

Hello, please get in touch with our marine support team at the following link so they can look into your situation. bit.ly/GarminContact-US Thank you -MR

[@scottleggejr]

You keep saying "EFI" but I've heard of EMI (electro magnetic interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference). Maybe smooshing the two together? Electric frequency interference??? Not to nit pick... I love this content and these videos so much. Thank you!

[@GarminInt]

Hi Scott, yes, the EMI and EFI terms are being used interchangeably in this instance. -MR

[@stumcvicar3168]

MK Stu here again . I’m hooking up ultra 126sv 92sv gcv 20 and livescope , should I put a on and off switch on the livescope . I figure if I’m out scrolling around for fish I don’t need to leave the unit on because it will be drawing current off the battery. I’ve got a 100ah lithium battery that going to run all of this. Also can you tell me how long the units will last with this setup, and also about the on and off switch.Thank you Stu

[@GarminInt]

Hi, Stu! We'd want a switch going directly to the battery and not a bus bar. We don't have a specific run time and there would be many factors that go into that. The best way to get an estimate for length of time is to find an amp hour calculator on the internet. (KS)

[@offgridwhitetails8768]

Will calibration of the compass be different with the transducer attached to the trolling motor vs a transducer pole ?

[@GarminInt]

Hello, it would not be different. -MR

[@justintaylor4471]

For the record - I've seen rockfish well over 100 ft deep / 100 feet out.

[@detectvt9849]

So can you calibrate if you're not mounting your system to a boat?

[@GarminInt]

Hi there! It is still possible if it is pole mounted. The transducer just needs to be able to turn 360º. -MR

[@detectvt9849]

@@GarminInt thank you!! I own the GPSMAP 1243XSV . And I am thinking about buying 1 of the 2 option remote controls, that 1 cost $99.99 & the other cost $399.99 . What is the biggest differences between the two?

[@GarminInt]

Which remote are you referring to? Is it a remote for the chartplotter? If so, the GRID remote is designed more to be used with a multi chartplotter network and is designed to be solid mounted. The wireless remote control is designed more for one chartplotter and is better for portable use. -MR

[@detectvt9849]

@@GarminInt yes, the remotes you are talking about for Chartplotters GPSMAP Series. Part #:010-10878-10 & 010-01024-00

@@GarminInt what are the biggest advantages of each remote? Also, What makes 1 remote worth $99.99 and the other remote worth $399.99?

[@scottleggejr]

I just bought a 2oz kastmaster and a 18' med-heavy/fast rod because panoptix works as far as I can cast. right? 🤣

My echomaps 93 shows no updates?

Mine too. I have sent an email to Garmin, on Friday. Hope to hear back soon.
