ECHOMAP Ultra 2 Features

Bundle Overview: The Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 / LiveScope Plus System bundle includes the 106sv with its 10" sunlight-readable touchscreen display and multi-band global positioning system, and the Panoptix LiveScope Plus Sonar System with the GLS 10 sonar module and LVS34 transducer. Together, you can step up your marine navigation and fishing game with new technology.

Fishfinder/Chartplotter: The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 marine chartplotter comes preloaded with Garmin Navionics+™ inland and coastal maps of the United States and Coastal Canada. In addition, it has two built-in microSD slots to let you add more specialized and detailed charts and maps that are available from Garmin. It has a large 10" (diagonal) full color touchscreen display that can be mounted in a variety of ways. The unit has a water rating of IPX7, and can withstand being splashed with water without worry, but unsuitable for prolonged immersion.

Display: The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv has a sunlight-readable 8.5" (wide) x 5.4" (high), 10" diagonal full color touchscreen WXGA display with 1280 x 800 pixels. It has an automatic backlight sensor that adjusts the screen brightness to the ambient light. You can also manually adjust the brightness by pressing the power key repeatedly to scroll through the brightness levels. You can also choose between day and night color schemes. The large screen lets you create combination pages of two, three, or four functions on the screen at once.

Keypad: In addition to touchscreen controls, the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv features several buttons for operating the device. The keypad consists of a power button, a plus/minus control for zooming in and out of a chart or view, and shortcut keys, numbered 1-4, that can be assigned to an active screen so you can open it instantly when pressed.

Global Positioning System: The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv has a built-in multi-band GPS receiver and internal antenna that collects data from overhead satellites to establish your current location. In addition to the U.S.-based GPS system, the unit can utilize GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou international positioning systems for improved location accuracy. The GPS signal strength is indicated on the top of the screen in a bar graph (5 bars maximum). You should make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the antenna can receive the GPS signal. The device is equipped with a 10Hz GPS receiver which refreshes its position and heading 10 times per second. In addition, the unit coordinates the timing of the sonar return in relation to the boat's position to give you amazingly accurate waypoints or for pinpointing fishing hotspots.

Charts and Maps: The unit is preloaded with Garmin Navionics+ inland and coastal maps of the U.S. and Coastal Canada with depth range shading, up to 1' contours, and shallow water shading. For the United States, the maps provide detailed coverage of the entire U.S. coasts, lakes, rivers, and inland waterways, including Alaska and Hawaii. Canada coverage includes coastal British Columbia, the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Coverage also includes Bermuda, the Bahamas, Baja California, the Gulf of California, Johnson Atoll, and Palmyra Atoll/Kingman Reef. The included 1-year subscription lets you download updates daily via the ActiveCaptain app. After one year, you can renew the subscription for up to 50% less than the cost of a new chart. Additional maps are available on microSD or you can download them to your own microSD card and insert them into the device. ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv supports optional Garmin Navionics Vision+ premium cartography with high-resolution relief shading, satellite imagery, sonar imagery, and more.

Auto Guidance+: The built-in Auto Guidance+ technology is a combination of the best of Garmin and Navionics automatic routing features. Auto Guidance+ gives you a suggested dock-to-dock path to follow through channels, inlets, marina entrances, and more. Auto Guidance+ is for planning purposes only, and does not replace safe navigation operations.

Quickdraw Contours: The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv features Quickdraw Contours software already installed on the device. This free software allows you to tailor the preloaded maps and create your own maps on the screen. While you fish, Quickdraw Contours creates the maps with 1' contours based on the sonar results from an attached compatible transducer. Compatible transducers include Garmin ClearVü/SideVü, Panoptix, HD-ID, DownVü, or NMEA 2000-compatible. If you are using more than one transducer, you can choose which sonar device gives you the best results. If you desire, you can share your maps with the Garmin Quickdraw Community on the Garmin Connect app.

Mounting Options: The 106sv consists of a display/control unit and a tilting bail mount with a quick release feature. When you come off the water, just disconnect the display/control unit from the bail mount and go. No plugging or unplugging wires from the unit itself, as the cables plug into the quick-disconnect bail mount. You can also flush-mount the display/control unit into your dashboard. A flush-mount template helps you make the cut into the mounting location. A self-adhesive rubber gasket is provided for flush-mount applications.

NMEA 2000 / NMEA 0183: The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv can be connected to an NMEA 2000 network which can carry power and data along the same cable. If your vessel has an existing NMEA 2000 network, it should already be connected to power. The device can share data from other NMEA 2000 devices, such as sensors or a VHF radio, plus you may also be able to view fuel and engine data on the display. The necessary cables and connectors are sold separately. The unit also supports the NMEA 0183 standard, which is used to connect various NMEA 0183 devices, including VHF radios and instruments, autopilots, wind and heading sensors.

Wi-Fi Enabled: The 106sv lets you wirelessly share information, including sonar, waypoints, and routes, with other ECHOMAP Ultra 2 or UHD2 chartplotters that are on your boat. It can also connect to a mobile devices using the ActiveCaptain app.

ActiveCaptain App: The free Garmin ActiveCaptain app on your mobile device provides a connection to the ECHOMAP via Wi-Fi. ActiveCaptain has a OneChart feature for accessing and updating all of your charts and maps from your smartphone or tablet, as well as purchase new ones to use on the chartplotter. You can also receive notifications of phone calls and texts on the unit's display. ActiveCaptain also lets you keep in touch with fellow boaters to get first-hand information about points of interest near your route or destination. Separate ActiveCaptain and Mobile Quickdraw communities are available for feedback or for sharing your Quickdraw Contours data. The Garmin ActiveCaptain app is compatible with devices running Android 10.0 and up, or Apple iOS 15.0 or later.

Chart Views: The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv has coastal and inland maps pre-loaded into its memory for the U.S. and Coastal Canada. Other maps and 3D views are available with optional premium charts (sold separately). The display will let you view these maps in several ways:

• Navigation Chart: This view shows the navigation data on the included maps with details including buoys, lights, cables, depth soundings, marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view.
• Perspective 3D Chart: The 3D chart provides a view from above and behind your vessel, and provides a visual navigation aid. This view is helpful when navigating tricky shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels, as well as entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors.
• Fishing Chart: The Fishing Chart provides a detailed view of the bottom contours and depth surroundings. Navigational data is removed, and the bottom contours are enhanced for depth recognition. It is best for offshore deep-sea fishing. Available with premium charts in some areas.
• Mariner's Eye 3D: The Mariner's Eye 3D view provides a more detailed, 3-dimensional view from above and behind the boat to provide a visual navigation aid. This is particularly helpful for navigating tricky shoals, reefs, bridges, and channels.
• Fish Eye 3D: The Fish Eye 3D view shows an underwater view with greater detail of the sea floor, according to the chart information. With an optional sonar transducer, you can see suspended targets (such as fish) indicated as bright colored spheres.
• Relief Shading: The Relief Shading chart provides high-resolution elevation shading of lakes and coastal waters, helpful for fishing and diving.

Waypoints: You can mark and save up to 5000 waypoints into the unit's memory. Waypoints can be marked at your present location, or you can enter the coordinates to a waypoint at a different location. Each waypoint can be saved with a name, symbol, depth, and comments. Once a waypoint has been saved, you can select and navigate to its location. You can also measure the distance to the waypoint on the Waypoint Map.

Routes: A route is a sequence of waypoints or locations that leads you to your final destination. You can create and immediately navigate a route on the Navigation chart or the Fishing chart, or create a route by putting together a series of waypoints and turns. Up to 100 routes can be created and saved in the device.

Tracks: A track is a recording of the current path of your boat. You can designate a color for each track to differentiate them from each other. Tracks are created by automatically marking the current location at a set interval. The interval can be adjusted--recording more frequent plots increases accuracy, but fills up the track log quicker. You can also record tracks by the distance between points, or the variance from your course. You can log and save up to 50 tracks with 50,000 points.

Boundaries: Boundaries allow you to remain in or avoid designated areas in a body of water. You can set up an alarm to alert you when you enter or exit a boundary. Boundaries can be areas, lines, or circles on the map. Saved tracks and routes can also be converted into boundary lines.

LiveScope System Features

Overview: The Garmin Panoptix LiveScope System is an add-on sonar transducer for select GPSMAP and ECHOMAP Plus chartplotters. The system consists of the LVS34 LiveScope Sonar Transducer and the GLS 10 Sonar Module. The slim-profile transducer is designed to install on a trolling motor, on the trolling motor shaft, or on the transom to help you see live images of what is happening under the water beneath your boat, up to 200 feet away. The LiveScope system utilizes AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) to stabilize the sonar view on your chartplotter's screen, even in rough conditions. The LVS34 offers two Panoptix LiveScope modes--Forward and Down. It comes with 20 feet of cable, and mounting brackets for motor, shaft, or transom installation. The Sonar Module provides power to the transducer, and sonar signals to your chartplotter.

Panoptix LiveScope Sonar: Panoptix LiveScope sonar gives you a real-time, realistic view of what's in the water around or under your boat. Panoptix LiveScope sonar is effective whether your boat is moving or stationary. Other types of sonar require your boat to be moving, and show images of fish you have already passed over. Panoptix LiveScope sonar has a narrow 20° beam angle for crisp, improved resolution and clear images, out to 200 feet. The LVS34 offers the choice of three LiveScope options:

• LiveScope Forward: LiveScope Forward lets you see structure and fish ahead and around your boat. You can also see your lure, and how fish react to your lure. When the transducer is mounted for LiveScope Forward mode, it should be angled forward and slightly downward.
• LiveScope Down: LiveScope Down shows moving sonar images below your boat, and allows you to pinpoint your targets' distance left or right and their depths. It is recommended for vertical fishing and jigging. For LiveScope Down mode, the transducer is mounted facing straight down.
• Perspective Mode: Perspective Mode lets you see under the water with a view from your perspective above the water. In this mode, the transducer is turned sideways and angled slightly downward (11°).

Mounting Options: The Panoptix LiveScope system comes with the hardware for mounting the transducer in a variety of ways. It can be mounted to either the starboard or port side, with a forward, downward, or perspective view. The available mounting methods are as follows:

• Trolling Motor Mount: The Trolling Motor mount provides the maximum unobstructed view of the sonar beam. The mount includes a hose clamp and bracket for installing the transducer directly to the side of trolling motor. This is the preferred mounting method for the LiveScope Down mode, or if you plan to switch between the forward and down modes.
• Trolling Motor Shaft Mount: Mounting the transducer to the trolling motor shaft is the preferred method for the LiveScope Forward mode. It provides maximum separation between the motor and the transducer, which optimizes the performance of the magnetic compass function. The trolling motor shaft bracket features an 8° cant to reduce the effects of the trolling motor barrel interference with the transducer beam.
• Transom Mount: Brackets are included for mounting the transducer to the transom. Care should be taken when mounting the brackets on fiberglass with screws to avoid cracking the gel-coat layer when tightening the screws.

LiveScope GLS 10 Module: The LiveScope GLS 10 sonar "black box" can be mounted horizontally or vertically to any flat surface. Four "keyhole" slots are provided to secure the module to the mounting surface. It features four connections across the front panel: ground, power (2-pin threaded connection / connects to battery and ground), Network (threaded 9-pin connection / connects to chartplotter), and Transducer (threaded 21-pin connection / connects to transducer). The GLS 10 has a status LED to inform you of its current conditions. The LED flashes green to indicate proper connection and operation, and orange during software updates. Red flashes indicate some type of failure, either by an incorrect connection, excessive input voltage, or other sonar failure.

Software Update: Before installing the Panoptix LiveScope system to your chartplotter, you may need to update your device's software. New chartplotter software is available on the Garmin website. If the chartplotter has Wi-Fi technology, you can update the software using the ActiveCaptain app (available for Android or Apple iOS devices). If it doesn't have Wi-Fi, you can download the new software to a memory card, or request a preloaded software memory card from Garmin support. Follow the instructions for updating the software for your device.

Compass Calibration: If you wish to use the magnetic compass feature, you must mount the transducer on the trolling motor shaft, and not on the motor itself to avoid magnetic interference. Once you have installed the transducer, you will need calibrate the compass. Failure to do so may cause errors in your boat's position and heading, and may prevent some map features to be unavailable. You should follow the procedure for calibrating the sonar on your chartplotter.

Maintenance: From time to time, you may need to clean the transducer if aquatic growth affects the device's performance. It can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. For severe growth, you can use a scouring pad or putty knife to remove it.
