“To not only win the ICAST Best Electronics award, but the Best
of Show award, too – it’s an honor we’re incredibly proud of,” said
Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales.
“Panoptix LiveScope delivers the best of both scanning and live
sonar technologies and there’s nothing out there even close to it.
These awards solidify our commitment to giving anglers and mariners
the most innovative technology on the water, and they further
strengthen our desire to be the top marine electronics brand in the
world.”
Panoptix LiveScope is a live scanning sonar that gives anglers
higher resolution and easier-to-interpret images of structure, bait
and fish swimming below and around the boat than ever before.
Garmin’s revolutionary Panoptix™ all-seeing sonar technology was
the first to deliver live sonar images in real-time – forwards,
backwards, sideways and below the boat – even while stationary.
Now, thanks to the active scanning capabilities of Panoptix
LiveScope, anglers can see images and movement so clear and precise
that it’s even possible to distinguish between species of fish. See
Panoptix LiveScope in action here.
“Panoptix changed the electronics game a couple of years ago,”
said Jason Christie, Bassmaster Elite Series and Garmin pro. “Now,
LiveScope is even taking it to the next level. The cool thing about
it is the simplicity of it. What you see is what is there. The only
picture that could be better is if you dive into the water with
goggles, and I’m not sure that’s really even better.”
Another Bassmaster Elite Series and Garmin pro, Fred Roumbanis,
agrees. “Never before have you been able to tell what species of
fish you are looking at like this,” he said. “You can see the
movement, you can see the profile. I was snapping a jig on the
bottom and I saw a walleye and I could see the fins of the walleye!
There’s no way I could have seen that before.”
Like other Garmin Panoptix transducers, LiveScope features two
modes in one transducer – LiveScope Down and LiveScope Forward –
and can be installed on a trolling motor or the transom
(recommended only for LiveScope Forward). Depending on the angler’s
fishing preferences and techniques, LiveScope can easily be
adjusted to change views. Simply point the LiveScope transducer
down to see directly below the boat, or forward to see around the
boat. Either view provides incredibly sharp, real-time scanning
sonar images up to 200 feet down or away from the boat, even when
the boat is stationary.
The Panoptix LiveScope scanning sonar system includes a compact
GLS 10 sonar black box with an LVS32 transducer and a simple
plug-and-play Garmin Marine Network connector for easy installation
and integration with a compatible Garmin chartplotter. A trolling
motor barrel and shaft mounting kit and a transom mounting kit are
also included. Panoptix LiveScope is compatible with Garmin’s
ECHOMAP™ Plus 7Xcv/7Xsv/9Xsv chartplotter/sonar combo series, as
well as the GPSMAP® 8400/8600 multifunction displays, GPSMAP
7400/7600, GPSMAP 10X2/12X2, GPSMAP 12X2xsv Touch and GPSMAP
7X2/9X2 series chartplotters.
Available now, the Panoptix LiveScope system has a suggested
retail price of $1,499.99. For more information, videos and images,
