Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv LiveScope Plus Bundle, Worldwide Basemap

This variant of the LiveScope Plus bundle is built for owners who specifically don't want the GT56UHD-TM transom transducer in the box. The standard 1003715 bundle (010-02881-01LSP) includes the GT56UHD-TM all-in-one transducer for transom-mount CHIRP/ClearVu/SideVu sonar. This SKU drops that transducer, which makes sense in two situations. First, you already have a Garmin transducer on the boat (transom-mount or thru-hull) and don't need a second one. Second, you're planning a thru-hull or in-hull transducer install and don't want to pay for the transom-mount unit that you wouldn't use. The chartplotter itself still has the built-in sonar electronics, ready to drive whatever transducer you connect to it.

The chartplotter half is the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv. The 12.1-inch WXGA IPS touchscreen at 1280 by 800 resolution is what makes the upgrade from older ECHOMAP UHD 12-inch units worth it. The new panel is brighter, holds color better off-axis, and the modernized operating system is noticeably more responsive when you're swiping through sonar history at high speed. Garmin kept the keyed-assist layout with four programmable shortcut keys, which is the right call for a touchscreen at the bow where wet fingers and rough water make pure touch operation frustrating. The 10 Hz multi-band GPS pulls from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations, with WAAS giving you sub-meter accuracy where the augmentation signal is available. This variant ships with worldwide basemap charts covering coastal contours and major waterways globally. Premium chart upgrades (Garmin Navionics+, LakeVu g3 Ultra, BlueChart g3 Vision) are purchased separately based on the region you fish.

The LiveScope Plus package is the headline. The GLS 10 black box is the sonar processor, the LVS34 transducer is the live-sonar element itself, the perspective mount lets you rotate the transducer to switch between forward, down, and perspective views without unbolting anything, and the barrel mount fits the trolling motor shaft. Cables and connectors are all included. LiveScope Plus is the second-generation live sonar with improved range, sharper detail, and better target tracking at the edges of the cone. In practical terms, you can see individual fish moving 50 to 100 feet out in front of the boat in real time, watch your lure descend through the water column, and see fish react to it before they ever touch the bait. For anyone who fishes structure, brush piles, or grass edges, that's the difference between guessing and knowing.

The chartplotter's built-in sonar electronics still drive whatever conventional transducer you connect. The 122sv chartplotter accepts CHIRP, Ultra HD ClearVu, and Ultra HD SideVu transducers natively through the sonar port on the back. Common options are the Garmin GT54UHD-TM transom-mount, the GT56UHD-TM transom-mount (which is what the standard bundle ships with), or a thru-hull Garmin Airmar pairing for offshore boats. For inshore bass and walleye work where the LiveScope LVS34 is doing most of the heavy lifting, the chartplotter often doesn't need a second transducer at all. You can run LiveScope through the GLS 10 network connection without anything plugged into the conventional sonar port.

Networking and connectivity match the standard bundle. Built-in Wi-Fi sharing connects this chartplotter wirelessly to other compatible ECHOMAP Ultra 2 or UHD2 units to share sonar history, waypoints, and routes between the bow and the console. Force trolling motor integration is wireless and complete, with anchor, jog, and follow-contour features from the chartplotter screen. ActiveCaptain on a phone covers software updates, Quickdraw map sync, smart notifications, and screen recording for sharing LiveScope clips. The bundle ships with the chartplotter, mounting hardware, power cable, NMEA 2000 drop cable, and the full LiveScope Plus kit. The transducer for the chartplotter's built-in sonar is the one piece you add separately based on how you fish.
