That cleared up a lot for me. I just started to use Panoptix and couldn't figure out why the transducer was shooting straight ahead but the small icon in the upper right showed it was shooting to the back of the boat.
Good video but AHRS will wonder setting still. In order to indicate correctly sitting still, you will need a heading sensor for the maps. This not my opinion but straight from the Garmin Help site.
Sir this is an EXCELLENT video!! Question : Is it necessary to have any type of heading sensor to calibrate the compass & get the boat Icon onto the screen??
Great video, I followed the steps and the following popped up on the screen (Before you can calibrate the transducer, you must deploy the transducer in the correct orientation.) have you experienced this?
I tried calibrating my compass and two things happened that I haven't seen in any presentation on this topic: First, the icon that appeared was not a boat but a circle with an "N" at the top of it. Second, when the trolling motor is pointed straight ahead the beam is shooting 90 degrees to the port side. Any idea what's going on or how I can fix this?
Thanks for the video. I have a pole mount transducer. Should the transducer be pointed in any particular area (front, 90 degrees off bow, etc) when rotating the boat to calibrate?
Great information, I just celebrated my system just like you suggested. The problem that I am incourting is that the cone disappears on the maps . I go back to celebrate it however the system says that its successfully calibrated. AHRS is turned on. Any suggestions on what the issues could be? Thanks
Anytime the cone disappears that is because the compass has become uncalibrated. Recalibrate the compass. There's a problem with that happening when you switch from perspective mode back to forward or downmode.
Finely got a successful calibration after many failed tries or getting a message "must be in forward perspective" many times, even when the transducer is mounted in forward and forward or auto is selected in menu. After finally getting successful calibration worked great for a few days. Then suddenly the screen picture would start to swing as though it was hanging on a pendulum and the pointer extending from the boat icon would rotate quickly and constantly. Turning AHRS to off would bring back normal screen but, of course, no boat icon. Then eventually when turning AHRS back on would get a screen with multiple quarter circles radiating away from the 0 point. Checked voltage from all power, all good (new batteries). Checked all connections, all seem to be good. Please help!
@@818OutdoorsHave never used perspective view. Sounds like you are telling me I have lost my calibration. I will recalibrate. For some reason it is an arduous process, that is why I have not done it again. Thank you for the quick reply. It is greatly appreciated.
Great info. I’m about to drop the hammer on buying a Livescope. I’ve got a boat but I’m going the portable route with mine. What’s your price on a 1222 set up like I see in the background?
Having issues after calibrating my compass, the cone direction is pointing in the opposite direction of where my transducer is pointing. Do you know how to fix this issue.
Just subscribed...Setting up new rig..have 2 126s up front and 2 at console..should I calibrate the bow units individually..any reason to calibrate console units..Do I turn the boat with big motor...or trolling motor Thx Jack B
The calibration is in the gls10 livescope module. Once the calibration is done all units will show calibrated in the livescope. Just turn the trolling motor if it has the capability to rotate 1.5 times.
Did this unit have a steady cast heading sensor ? Curious cause the boat icon beam won’t match using AHRS alone to direction of the LVS32 transducer , when not moving /stationary
Hey Jason. I calibrated my unit. Was a success. However on the maps the compass is off 180 degrees. How do you fix that? The compass shows correctly to the right and the left left off of the front of the boat. The boat is pointing to the south physically so on the maps the roads and lakes etc are off 180°. Any suggestions on how to correct?
Check your transducer to make sure it's mounted in the proper orientation. The word Garmin should be level in the cable should be to the rear. Also you have to understand that only when the boat is moving will the map orientate to the proper direction with the boat icon.
any idea why I keep getting a magnetic enviroment reading of 10 or so and fail I do have a transducer cable running with livescope cable on trolling motor. with everything off except livescope I still have this problem any advice is appreciated
from what I've seen it's definitely not as good as livescope. Doesn't seem like it has quite the features and definitely does not have the beam splicing right.
@@818Outdoors The situation I get with AHRS on is multiple concentric rings radiating from 0 like Saturn rings. Refuses to calibrate no matter what. Have latest software on sd sent by Garmin. 13.8v from LiFePo4 directly to GLS10 supplied power cord. If I want livescope I cannot have it on!
@@daviddincler7494 You're better off going into the livescope screen and using the cursor to pause crosshairs on the brush pile, then mark that location. That will drop away point on the actual brush pile. Make sure you have your compass calibrated.
I turn AHRS off and manually select forward. Obviously no calibration. If I turn AHRS ON and properly calibrate, Will the LS image be any different? Or is the only difference, the things you showed. Ty
I have calibrated the compass but the beam doesn't show up on the fishing chart (software all up to date)...is there a setting to turn this on (the AHRS in turned on)? Cheers
Jason, I'm trying to figure out if there's any advantage in sonar response time between the higher end and entry level units running livescope. Do you know if the the GPSMAP units are more real-time vs the other units garmin offers or is the minute latency the same no matter what head unit you use with livescope? I have not seen or read any info on this scenario yet and would be nice to see if you can shed some light on it. Thanks!
The GPS map isn't exactly higher end. The 8600 specifically is the high end. The biggest difference is sonar wattage power capabilities and processing power. For just livescope there's not a big advantage over 106 or 126.
not that often, when your little boat icon disappears recalibrate. If you change from perspective mode to forward mode you'll most likely need to recalibrate
My compass won't stay calibrated for some reason, anyone else have that problem? I am running a nmea 2000 network with a steady cast heading sensor also.
Mine worked great for a year or so. Then would not stay calibrated for several months. Now will not calibrate at all. Keep getting message needs "proper orientation" Cant find anywhere where Garmin defines "proper Orientation". I assume its forward. Still get same message. Thought it may be a low voltage problem. LiFePo4 reads 13.8v dedicated to GLS10. Tried other good, new batteries. No success. I gave up and went fishing instead of messing with electronics. Wish Garmin would help me.
@@818Outdoors thanks man, I just installed mine haven't even put it on the water yet so I'm trying to get as much information as I possibly, and see what I bought is totally capable of. I only got the livescope option on the transducer that's it.
I have a compass that shows the cone in relation to north, it doesnt have a boat icon in the right corner of my 93sv with a lvs32 and gls10. I can't figure this out any ideas? Thank you!
@@818Outdoors well that's lame! Why would anyone care where the cone is in relation to north instead of the real time location of where its pointing. Garmin is trippin on this one. Thanks for the response!!
@@SeeLifeBro because in order to track where it's pointing when the boat is not moving, you would need a steady cast sensor. Otherwise the GPS boat orientation is achieved with forward or backwards both movement. When you're in one place, the charplotter does not know what is the front and back of your boat
Question Poster.. Good video. Are you an Aquarius? 🤣 Wierd question I know. But this is just some Aquarius stuff to me to be fascinated by something that is apart of something others over look. I'm doing this tonight.😁👍👍
@@818Outdoors 🤣😆😂 I was close I knew you had to be near!! Hilarious. This made my day. You got AQUARIUS traits Bro.🤣😂 All the best to you. Stay True to Yourself!! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video i am using a stand alone pole for transducer and im able to calibrate but when finished the boat icon direction on screen does not match with transducer direction not sure what im doing wrong. Thanks for your help
I currently have a Garmin live scope LVS 34 with a GLS 10 black box on a 93SV screen. For some reason I cannot get the cone to show in the direction after I have calibrated the transducer and I am having a good GPS connection. Any advice in settings on this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
For indicator on your screen will not always show the direction of the transducer. There's a couple different settings for how that is displayed. I prefer having the map setting to north up which tends to be more accurate to show the direction the panoptics is pointing on the map. As far as the display in the upper right hand corner on the pan optics screen, I've never had Good luck with that.
Jason, I need your help please!! When I set a waypoint using Livescope it drops the waypoint beneath my boat. How can I fix this?? I appreciate it very much, Thank you!
Man!!! This is really cool! I have a GPS unit so I don't have mapping without buying the card but this is definitely something to think about! Sharing it with all my buddies for sure! Will it help with Ghost tree stitching of that data any by chance?? Thanks!!!
@@brettwren7824 I have the same issue, 90 deg off. Garmin just tells me to put it in the water and re-calibrate. Tried like 10X. No luck still off by 90. I wish I could get it to work.
@@JigglinGem are you saying the yellow cone is pointing 90° when your trolling motor head is pointing straight ahead? I mean the cone is always 90° off of the direction your trolling motor is pointing.
I’m new to Livescope. I am installing a Garmin Livescope 34 plus with a 1022 chart plotter. Do I need better maps to do what you are doing? What do you recommend? This is a game changer IMO. Thanks!
