Common Questions

This PDF covers the Garmin LVS32 and LVS34 LiveScope transducers. Both require a GLS 10 sonar module, power, and a compatible Garmin Marine Network chartplotter. Supported families include network-capable ECHOMAP Plus, ECHOMAP UHD, ECHOMAP UHD2 sv, ECHOMAP Ultra and Ultra 2, plus compatible GPSMAP families. STRIKER and non-network ECHOMAP units are not supported. LVS62 can use compatible LiveScope hardware, but it is not covered by this LVS32/LVS34 settings guide.

The current Garmin LVS32/LVS34 Livescope PDF Settings Guide covers the following sections from the PDF:

  • Troubleshooting: Setup checks and seeing your lure
  • Starting Out: Key terms, presets, reset, menus, and updates
  • Mounting And Orientation: Positions, aim, mounts, maps, cable, and ferrite
  • Installation And Calibration: Install Depth, stabilization, compass, Flipped, pitch, and Focus
  • Range, Scale, And Aim: Forward, Perspective, Down, Reverse, and Compress Range
  • Gain And Filters: Gain, Noise Reject, Ghost Reject, TVG, Color Gain, and Color Limit
  • Color And Display Aids: Color schemes, Bottom Fill, Trails, Grid, On-Screen Control, and Scroll History
  • My Settings: One-page Forward, Down, and Perspective reference

It is not only a list of numbers. The PDF gives recommended settings or ranges for the exact transducer and explains the covered controls, setup, and screenshots that go with those recommendations.

This PDF is focused on setting up the exact transducer named on the product page. It includes screenshots and setup explanations, but the video courses are the step-by-step products for learning to read and use each sonar type.

Use the recommended settings as your normal baseline. The guide also explains the controls that change with what you are viewing, such as range or aim, and when to return to the normal setup. The recommendations are not split into different settings for different water clarity.

YouTube can be useful for individual questions. This guide puts the recommendations, explanations, screenshots, and setup information for one exact transducer into one ordered PDF, so you do not have to combine advice made for different equipment.

ChatGPT can help explain settings and answer questions. Check that its advice matches your exact fish finder and transducer. This PDF brings the recommended settings, explanations, and screenshots for the listed equipment together in one guide.

After checkout, the current store process makes the PDF available on the Course Home page, in a follow-up email, and from the Orders page when you log in with the same email used at checkout.

Yes. You can save the PDF to your phone or computer and print it at home. On an iPhone, downloaded PDFs normally appear in the Files app under Downloads or Recents.

The PDF Settings Guide is digital and a printed guide is not mailed. A Laminated Quick Reference Card is included only when the purchase option you select explicitly says it includes one.

Settings that make your lure actually show up

I’ve spent years on the water rigorously testing Livescope transducers across various units and bodies of water, all to deliver the most effective settings for your setup.

Written About In

Excellent Material

Excellent material. Very detailed and thorough information that has helped me become better with my FFS setup and experience on the water. Hugh’s instruction has helped me identify likely bass and not waste my time throwing at the wrong species. I now have my Garmin dialed in and I can determine right away if I made the right cast. Before I struggled to actually find my lure. With all of this new knowledge, I can actually spend time getting better with my FFS instead of being frustrated and just turning it off. I definitely recommend this product.

Why not just learn it on Youtube?

Comprehensive and Structured Learning

Unlike YouTube, where information is scattered across various videos and channels, your settings guide compiles everything in one place. The content is meticulously organized to provide a step-by-step learning experience, ensuring you don't miss any crucial information.

Expertise from a Professional

My livelihood depends on my expertise in fishfinders. I am on the water every day, constantly learning and refining my skills. Unlike many YouTube "experts," I have real-world experience and a proven track record in professional tournament fishing and guiding.

Reliable and Up-to-Date Information

YouTube content can quickly become outdated. Your settings guide is regularly updated with the latest techniques and tips, ensuring that learners always have access to current information.

AN INVESTMENT

Garmin Livescope Setup = $2300 +

Why spend thousands on equipment and not have it performing its best? Our Settings Guide will maximize your Livescope's capabilities.

If You're Skeptical, Read This First

If your electronics were dialed in and you were happy with what you’re seeing, you wouldn’t still be searching for answers.

I know how this goes. You’ve already:

1) Spent serious money on your fishfinder

2) Tried tweaking settings but you’re still not confident

3) Watched YouTube after YouTube and every “expert” says something different

4) Seen perfect demo screenshots online but your screen doesn’t look like that on the water

That’s exactly why Fishfinder Coach exists.

I’m on the water every week, guiding and testing on Garmin, Lowrance, and Humminbird units in real conditions, not factory defaults.

If you're skeptical, good. You should be.
Just know this, every single review on this site came from someone who felt exactly like you do right now.

When your screen finally makes sense, that skepticism turns into confidence real quick.
