New Garmin Units! Echomap Ultra 2 Preview

[@maxcole3930]

I'm glad I bought my unit last year around Christmas. Including sales from Garmin bass pro & my bass pro club points earned, I got my echomap Ultra 106sv with gt54 for $742+ tax last winter. The new units are not worth upgrading if you already have an ultra. Sure if you're ready to buy a new unit anyway, then their great. They don't have better screen resolution or processing speed. I'm a Kayak angler so 1 unit is all I need. No reason to network & don't care about sharing screen recordings. I've still never even taken a screen shot. I wanna catch fish not fittle with the unit anymore that I already have to! Echomap Ultras are excellent units!

That's great! How are yall finding these literally next to nothing on price? Everything I'm looking at is $1800-$4k..? Maybe black friday will have something...? Glad you got a great deal.

[@maxcole3930]

Well I bought the echomap ultra 106sv after Christmas sale, then found a deal on steady cast heading sensor. Both of those deals only worked if you bought the items online with your bass pro credit card & picked them up in store, not home delivery. Then the following spring Bass pro a a special for 1 week when they put the lvs32 on sale again for 1000. But they had another deal going on the Lvs34 at same time along with 500 off any purchases over $1500. So I got the Lvs34 then. I just saved my $ & waited for good deals. It took a lot of patience. I looked at all the units for year n half before I could decide what to get. That Garmin going on sale for that price is what pushed me to the garmins. I wouldn't change anything. The Ultra 106sv, steady cast, & lvs34 system has been excellent!

Great videos guys! Question, Is the processing speed faster on the ultra V1 vs the uhd2

[@chums101]

Can you share waypoints between 106 and 126 ultra 2’s?

[@JonR35]

I just got the 93svuhd2 and wow am I disappointed. The side in store mode is so grainy regardless of settings.

[@alexpush]

how do I make helm full-screen display mode on android 13?

[@basseditorfishing]

Are they in stock now?

[@benjiang6493]

I am wondering if the ultra2 has better screen quality. I remember I saw some review compare ultra screen vs UHD, ultra' s screen color was not nice as UHD😮

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

The ultra has a way higher screen resolution than the UHD. THE Ultra 2 has the same resolution as the Ultra.

[@benjiang6493]

Yeah I know but I am talking about the color and screen clarity , not the resolution. I will see if I can find the video I mentioned earlier. Thanks

[@doakscott]

he said the screen quality is the same

[@bradrowell9171]

Can I access vessel view mobile

[@soobz]

I reckon Garmin missed a chance to clearly lead the industry with these. It would have cost very little to upgrade the resolution and would justify the price increase. Screen share is just a massive wank.

[@tomrieger27]

Still wish the EchoMap units would allow for water depth offset. So if you are on a lake and the water is 10' low, you can set your map to match.

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

You can with the new Garmin Navionics Vision+ card!

[@shaneomacski23]

What about lowrance and cmap?

[@gregdutton8219]

@@shaneomacski23 No Lowrance does not have water level offset.

[@shaneomacski23]

I'm hoping c map will get on the water depth offset train soon!

[@gregdutton8219]

@@shaneomacski23 It would be nice to have. Humminbird owns the rights to the technology. Garmin is either paying Humminbird or they have a cross licensing agreement. I use Reefmaster software and can do offsets that way.

[@dalewoodiel]

You can only WiFi network two units. You won’t be able to network three units wirelessly.

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

This is correct!

[@dalewoodiel]

Just adding that bit of info for people running more than two units.

[@soobz]

So you can't use 2 units and a Force Kraken on WiFi?

[@georgedoolittle9015]

Garmin is an absolutely amazing Business actually mainly in fitness watches but as an item called an "InReach" which is a global communication device which is starting to be integrated into their fitness watches now obviously far more than fitness watches but yes very much a back door into the cell phone market is Garmin suddenly plus of course trolling motors and this as well...aircraft electronics as well too😊

[@thomasrobey9851]

Looks great but the 106 I bought two months ago for a stand alone scope screen is still just as good. Not enough to buy a new one

[@CasualBassGuy]

Ultra 2’s come out shortly after I pick up the ultra 106 LOL

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

That 106 is still a solid unit! You're gonna love it!

[@CasualBassGuy]

@@BehindTheReelFishing I’ve loved it all season. It’s made me want LVS so bad, badddddd lol

[@BehindTheReelFishing]

@@CasualBassGuy we get used lvs 32's in on trade fairly often! 😁

[@mpp1234]

No preview... just talking.

[@gavinscarman9757]

Sadly no improvement to the sidescan resolution, Humminbird is still clearly better.

[@johng8049]

is it. I cant find a side by side compare. Most the ones i seen they are using a GT54 to compare. I have GT 56 and my buddy has a bird so once the snow gone im going to do a side by side compare. I think the GT56 is dam close if not just as good

[@alecking6651]

From everything I have seen, they are very comparable

[@legacyserviceprofessionals6955]

I’ve got both the Garmin with a GT-56 and the bird SI+ on my boat. There is no comparison. The bird is twice as clear and it maintains a clear image three times as far as the Garmin.
