Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv include a transducer?
No, this unit (010-02881-00) is sold without a transducer. It includes an 8-pin to 12-pin adapter cable for connecting compatible Garmin transducers. This allows you to select the specific transducer that best matches your fishing and navigation requirements.
Can this chartplotter connect wirelessly to other Garmin units?
Yes, the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv can wirelessly network with other compatible ECHOMAP Ultra 2 or ECHOMAP UHD2 chartplotters. You can share sonar data, waypoints, and routes between connected units via one-to-one wireless connections.
What LiveScope transducers are compatible with this unit?
The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv supports the full lineup of Garmin LiveScope transducers, including LiveScope, LiveScope XR, and LiveScope Plus systems. These transducers are sold separately and provide real-time, live-action sonar imagery of fish and structure.
Does this unit support custom chart creation?
Yes, the unit includes Garmin Quickdraw Contours technology, allowing you to create personalized depth contours in real-time. You can also access millions of community-shared Quickdraw contours and contribute your own data to help other boaters.
What is the difference between ClearVü and SideVü sonar?
ClearVü provides high-frequency down-imaging sonar that shows detailed images directly below your boat, ideal for identifying bottom structure and fish. SideVü scans to the left and right of your boat, covering wider areas to locate fish and structure away from your boat's path.
Can I use this chartplotter for both saltwater and freshwater applications?
Absolutely. The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv is designed for universal marine use and supports both coastal/saltwater charts (BlueChart g3) and inland/freshwater mapping (LakeVü g3). The IPX7 waterproof rating ensures reliable operation in all marine environments.
