Calibrating Your Garmin Livescope and Why It’s Important
• Calibrating Your Garmi... - บันเทิง
Today was my first day on the water with the live scope, I’m brand new to marine electronics. I spent like 4 hrs trying to figured out why I could only see my bait directly beneath the boat and not anywhere else. Turns out I had installed it backwards on my pole.
Thanks for the videos. I’m making progress learning.
Here is an updated video
Garmin Livescope LVS34 & LVS32 Complete Guide To Transducer Orientation

By far the best Garmin explanation videos anywhere & you make them very easy to comprehend.
Glad you enjoyed
THANK YOU BRU!
I've been looking for information on LVS32 positioning for months.
This clarifies EVERYTHING!
Glad this helps bud.
Can’t say how much I thank you for this. Just got mine a week ago your video showed me I was not just using mine wrong but had the whole thing pointing backwards lol… thanks a million
It happens a lot bud. Glad I could help
Thanks for the help ! Is that a legend ss 18/56 jet you have it mounted on ?
It would nice if Garmin would offer you a PT position working from home !!! You ARE the GURU and have earned that title respectively IMO! Thanks for your time and tight lines!
I wish they would offer me a job. Dream job. Thanks for watching bud.
After watching this video, I feel like I finally understand how the LVS 32 transducer works. Thanks a bunch for this clear, understandable explanation!! (PS, I have been using my transducer in the down mode thinking I was in the forward mode, gonna fix that today!)
Glad I could help bud
In playing with my scope on the starboard side I've found that if I'm fishing shallow 3 foot or less if I click one more time I still have full screen and am able to still the fish. Just like if I'm 3 foot or deeper. Thanks for doing awesome easy to follow videos. If you're ever in east Texas hit me up and we'll go pull on some.
Nice info brother
I’m new to live scope and have mine on the right hand side and have been wondering why I have the black space on the garmin unit. Makes sense now. Appreciate this video
Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe. I have tons of videos. I also have a Facebook page by the same name that people will help you on. Very unlike any other page
@@The_Garmin_Guru I’ll definitely give you a follow. Been watching your videos for a week or so now. This particular video helped me a lot so hopefully it’ll all come together now.
Keep it coming. Your the best I've found yet. YOUR A U TUBE STAR!!
Hahaha. Far from a star. 😂
@@The_Garmin_Guru you keep doing what your doing and you'll have tons of subscribers.
Have another?. I have an Ulterra trolling motor. I dont need a "garmin puck" to calibrate my transducer, do i?
@@jeffreyriddle4645 now you don’t bud
awesome video... i hope this helps to fix my issues.. I have watched several of your videos.. and I really like them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well thank you sir. Welcome aboard.
It’s criminal this video has only 650 likes for 50k views. Great job on the explanation!
Amen brother. 😂
Great explanation and video! Would love to see the same for Perspective Mode. I recently invested into two Garmin Live Scopes. Installed two on the front. One on trolling motor (for forward view) and another on The LiveScanner motorized pole that I want to use in Perspective mode. Played with it this weekend for a while, didn't feel I got the perspective mode dialed in or set up right. Im using the Fish Obsessed Dominator-Ultimate mount similar to your Summit. Both set up as Starboard side. Any help appreciated. Keep the videos coming, they are helping so many of us.

Excellent content! Thank you!
Thank you for watching sir
I thought the transducer cable had to be next to the pole no matter which side it was on, am I wrong?
Awesome video thank you for sharing
Of course bud
I ain’t gonna worry with it, I’m gonna bring my boat over and film a video while you get mine all set up 😆😆😆
Bring it on buddy
Thank you for this. I just installera my perspectove mode mount and didnt understand why the transduser were pointing backwords. Previously i apperently have used the port side installation on my star board side when i only did the foreward mode.
Thanks for keeping it simple
Yes sir.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Your spare tyre on the trailer is bald. You would be in trouble if you were found to be using it in Ireland. Your videos are the best yet. Keep up the good work.
Hahaha. Good eye my friend. So you’re from
Ireland? If so that’s pretty cool
Informative nice job thanks
Thanks bud
This was a excellent video on the Garmin LV32 . I have a question . If I transfer my Garmin unit & LV32 to another boat would I have to recalibrate the compass ??
Thank you bro!!!!!
Happy to help
Dude you are the "SHIT"!!!! I was sooo frustrated with mine I put it away, and said f it! I've had my boat and livescope for a year and I fished tourneys and never even used it. I can't wait for this cold weather to be gone!!!!! Good thing I don't have your address I'd be sending you a case of beer!!!! Ty sooo much!!!
All you gotta do is message me bud at anytime. I answer all messages.
Good info, I recognize that summit mount. Kentucky
It’s a good one for sure
Great explanation! Since seeing the calibration videos I’ve been thinking about calibration and I have a question about perspective view.
Does the compass require recalibrating after using perspective mode ?
If you would like the compass rose it does. Remember the system can only store one calibration and that is the position it was in when you calibrate the Livescope.
Great video finally I understand LOL can you please do a video on how to calibrate your life scope
I have a few videos on the subject. Here’s one of them.

Thanks
Thank you for watching
Nice video
Thank you sir
Do you have orientation pictures with the 34 transducer?
And with the Fishing Obsessed 0 degree adapter?
I’m having a real hard time getting it installed right and displaying both Forward & Perspective views ?
Help ??
Im adding on the 93sv on a pontoon. I made a nice pole & have it mounted starboard right beside the helm so I can see & steer at the same time. Should I mount it starboard like you did here? My setup is different & didn't know if that changes anything. Great informative video, & no music! Great job
Awww now I have music on my videos some of the time. You can mount it port or starboard on the pole. It doesn’t really matter. It only matters on which side of the pole you mount it.
I believe almost anyone that has inside the hands dirt on them. IJS. My dad is the same way. Dirty. Knows shit. That’s my guy!!!
True story
Yesterday I was going nuts trying to figure out why I could not see my lure. There was a school of bass teeing off on a school of bait what i thought was forward. Took me a little bit to figure out the schoolies were behind me. All need to do is turn it like shown in the video.
Easy to get it right with research......
Yea I agree bud. Some folks don’t want to spend that time anymore.
Great video. Any chance of a similar video for Livescope Plus? The transducers look quite different (at least to a new user) but the confusion is exactly the same!
I have one just haven’t put it out yet. It’s part of my Livescope Masterclass
Is there a better side? Like does the right side read better or vice vs?
great job thanks my fishing brother. I just installed it a couple weeks ago and i had it wrong,
Hope it helps. Hit me back if you need more help
Me two I had the tip pointing forward lol smh
I have my transducer mounted on the starboard side of the pole. Should I tilt the transducer so that the bottom is flat and then calibrate? What if I leave the top flat and calibrate. Will the computer know that will be forward? Not sure if I’m making sense in the second part of this comment?
So starboard side = bottom of transducer should be flat and port side = top of transducer should be flat?
I’m can understand the setup instructions perfect… excellent video.!!! Where another video would helpful is showing the “ Physics” of WHY one needs the transducer to be “oriented in a different plane” when it’s located on the right or left side of the boat (starboard vs port) ???
(IF there are ,say three transducer crystals in the transducer, why would they have to be on a different plane, depending on being mounted on “RIGH” or LEFT” of the boat”?) I just cannot “visualize “ what is being accomplished by a mounting then in a different plane in reverse!)
Ten four. There actual 5 rays
Ecactly! Some of us need to understand the logic and physics. My mind is comparing it to a handgun. If I change a handgun from my right hand to my left. I do not turn the gun around and point back at myself.
@@michaelgriffin2111 lol. Exactly
Can you do port perspective mode please thank you.
Good video. What perspective mount is that? Does it work on TM shaft too or just pole? Thanks!
That is a summit outdoor mount. I
Originally had it on my trolling motor shaft
I bought a boat that had everything livescope pre installed.. after watching a cpl videos of yours I noticed mine is on the starboard side of my boat but the transducer is set up for port side on the pole mount.. I swapped it around and now it looks backwards.. Do I recalibrate the compass after repositioning the transducer
It doesn’t matter which side of the boat it’s on. It needs to be oriented for the side of the pile it’s on
Always informative info, did you order the summit adapter from summit or someplace else ? Thanks for the videos !!!
It was 49.99 from summit.
I have had zero problems with it.
Thanks for taking time to keep us updated, I appreciate you.

Thank you for watching
Well ill be damn!!! Man i love you!!!!
Kinda off todays subject but would like to know your opinion on screen savers like a comparison of the $50 one from Russell Marine, say the clear view from Amason where you get 2 for 20 bucks and Precision Sonar has one for $60 etc. I'm sure the Amason one might not protect your scree from a speeding bullet (weight) but is it good enough for the weekend fisherman to keep his screen clean and help visibility. Thanks
Tempered glass is the only one I’ve seen that protects but still allows clarity. In this case go with the best you can afford.
Ì upgraded from the ultrax to the Garmin force trolling motor and already like the switch. I'm running 2 echo map UHD 95sv....I have navionics on my phone....all this high tech equipment lol...and livescope but I run mine on a separate polo mount. I haven't updated yet but everything works fine... should I update based on the latest versions?
If you are correct then the Garmin installation for trolling motor is wrong. What makes their display more confusing is they show the motor going in a different direction from Port settings to starboard settings without making it obvious to the reader. Their starboard side is really the port side description. Your video made me go back and look at manual I printed. No wonder I have been having so many problems. I have mine mounted like you on a poll. I also have a Force trolling motor but don’t want my Perspective twisting Mack and forth on it trying to keep me anchored.Thanks for showing us the screen change when you twist the transducer up and down
Correction their TH-cam display is wrong not the manual
Yea their manual is right. The TH-cam is wrong. They are stupid
It's easier to use the center transducer as your alignment, 45 deg. is forward 90 (Flat) is down view.
Good information
I have mine on separate pole than on trolling motor with a Summit fishing equipment pole end mount that comes straight down off the end of the pole. Do I use port or starboard? The cable comes down the port side with the transducer pointed forward.
I would imagine if it comes out the bottom whichever position you have it in when you calibrate the transducer the system will recognize that. That why calibration is so important
So if I'm using a pole does this matter or how should it be facing. The same as you were doing it on the video. Mine is on the driver's side of my boat. I'm using the specialty pool in mine is mounted flat on the bottom of the pole.
If it’s directly under the pole I wouldn’t think it would matter. This video is direct more at the person mounting it on the trolling motor shaft
Garmin Gure is it based on port and starboard side of the pole or the boat
Of the pole. Great question
Hey Guru, I have a question 🙋🏼♂️ Can you use your Livescope with the transducer cover on or is that just for traveling and you have to take it off every time before fishing? It looks like it would help protect it really well as I fish a lot of shallow water
I actually tried with it on one
Time. Tho it wasn’t on purpose. Lol. It did actually read just not good.
Now is it the same for a pole mounted unit if it's on starboard side of boat ? Cause I followed the advice and my systems flips to bottom view
It just matters what side of the pole
It’s mounted on.
If it’s flipping to down view that’s just because your transducer isn’t positioned correctly
My transducer is mounted the same way but on my trolling motor shaft . But it seems as if it’s backwards . So with the trolling motor going forward the transducer is picking up under my boat . Should I move the transducer to the other side ? Any info would be appreciated

Came here looking to figure out how you set it up for Ice Fishing. Instructions that came with were not clear on how to set up. I'm guessing now you set it flat/parallel to the ground/water...
If you’re looking for down mode like most ice fisherman use yes
Hey Guru, are you aware that garmin does not have live scope ghost button update for the 7600 series units. I have 2 7610’s with awful ghost tree on screen, I have tried everything to help nothing works. Called Garmin they just say theres no support for a product they still sell today, What you think ? Thanks ! JR
I can give you my settings and fixes. Email me at c2logging@yahoo.com
Where did you get your transducer mount? I like it
That’s a summit outdoors mount. I’m giving one away for my 8k giveway. Watch tomorrows video. Also giving one away in my 10k giveaway
Thank you! I Don't like the one that the lvs 32 comes with.
@@ronny8383able tell them I sent you. He’s a great guy and has excellent customer service
Should the AHRS be tuned off ?
Heck no
So if I want to run this in a trolling application! How would I set it up? Cause I would need it looking behind my boat at my down rigger? Any info would be awesome.
The direction you are looking would be considered forward
@@The_Garmin_Guru awwww makes sense. Thanks you.
@@egunsoutdooradventures688 I was hoping it would. I knew what you were asking just didn’t know exactly how to say it
Port side of entire boat or port side of your pole?? Thanks!
Post side of the pole
Or trolling motor.
When ice fishing, why does some say go into downward mode and one click down on the transducer to see better on the live scope?
It’s supposed to eliminate some of the beam crosstalk
Sorry I get what you are saying, thanks
No problem bud at all.
Sir is it possible to interface a Garmin 93sv with a 73cv?
I believe it is with an Ethernet cord
Are you sure forward is away from cable! Just wondering.
I appreciate you watching and commenting

I see now. It's really which side of the pole. I thought it actually had to be on either side of the boat. It's is which directions the transducer is facing.
Exactly bud.
Holy crap man here I’ve been thinking the same thing listening to others talk about port/starboard side.
I’ll be mounting mine on a separate pole. Which will be on the Starboard side of boat. But now I see also the correct positioning of the transducer itself in relation to port/Starboard side of pole.
Thanks!
so it matters what side of the pole it is on not the side of the boat
Yes sir
What type mount you using on your trolling motor?
Mine is mounted to a live foot pole with a summit fishing equipment perspective mount

I'm sorry, I'm confused by your port side demo. Your port side demo has the trolling motor and livescope pole still on the starboard side of the boat. Were we supposed to "imagine" that you had it on the port side? Or, is it somehow the port side of the pole? Still very confusing.
Sorry this video was confusing. To most it wasn’t. Try this video instead. Garmin Livescope LVS34 & LVS32 Complete Guide To Transducer Orientation

@@The_Garmin_Guru Yes, that video was much better in that very early on in the video, it was described as the port side of the SHAFT. This video just says starboard side and port side, but doesn't say what the reference point is. Typically, when you use those terms (port, starboard), you are talking about sides of a boat. In this video, we are actually talking about the sides of the SHAFT, not the boat. Thanks for the clarification.
@@mikewasserburger9662 no problem bud
I'm lost
If there’s anyway I can help inbox me on Facebook and I’ll try to guide you
I dont think that's correct on port side . It depends where it's mounted with prop(tm) inside of boat or outside of boat. Port the correct position is the bottom of ducer parallel to water for forward. And d view is is a click up. . Look on the webinar . Just saying if you have it mounted to tm
You’re wrong bud. Sorry. In port view the top
Is parallel to the waters surface. In starboard positioning the bottom is parallel to
The waters surface. Inbox me on Facebook and I’ll show the diagram if you’d like.
