Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 126Sv + Livescope Plus Bundle | 12" Chartplotter + LVS34 Livescope Plus
SKU:
Description
🐟 Premium 12" ECHOMAP Ultra 2 + LiveScope Plus complete bundle. Tournament-ready platform with LVS34 transducer, GLS 10 black box, and premium 12" display, all in one package.
Garmin 126sv System
This is the step-up complete LiveScope Plus package, the Ultra 2 premium 12" chartplotter, the GLS 10 black box, and the current-generation LVS34 LiveScope Plus transducer. For anglers who want more display real estate than the 10" tier can offer, this bundle delivers everything needed for a tournament-grade live sonar setup.
The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 126sv is the 12" premium chartplotter, brighter IPS, full Garmin Marine Network, faster processor, and Panoptix direct connection. At 12", split-screen setups become genuinely usable (3-4 sonar/map views at once without squinting). The bundle adds the LVS34 LiveScope Plus transducer and GLS 10 black box for a complete turnkey live sonar experience on the premium ECHOMAP platform.
The 126sv head unit runs on the full Garmin Marine Network (Ethernet), not the limited network support of UHD2 mainstream tier. That means this bundle networks seamlessly with Garmin radar (GMR Fantom/xHD), cameras (GC series), autopilot (Reactor series), and multi-display rigs. For anglers running serious tournament boats or offshore rigs, this networking capability alone can justify the Ultra 2 tier over UHD2.

Who This System Is For

Do I need to buy a summer sonar transducer separately?
Yes. The LVS34 transducer included with this bundle is a LiveScope Plus transducer, it provides forward-looking live sonar only. For CHIRP traditional sonar, ClearVü down imaging, and SideVü side imaging, you need a separate summer transducer like the GT56UHD-TM (approximately $500). Most buyers add the GT56UHD-TM for general fishing and use the LVS34 for LiveScope-specific applications.
Can I use the LVS34 on ice?
No, the LVS34 included with this bundle is the open-water version. For ice fishing LiveScope Plus, you need the LVS34-IF (ice-specific) transducer. See our 93sv + LiveScope Plus Ice Bundle ($3,300) or the standalone LiveScope Plus Ice System ($1,800).
How is LVS34 different from the older LVS32?
The LVS34 is the current-generation LiveScope Plus transducer, sharper target separation, cleaner imaging, and slightly longer practical range than the older LVS32. For most anglers, the difference is meaningful but not life-changing. If you already own an LVS32-based rig, upgrading to LVS34 is worth it if you fish competitively or you're consistently working the edge of LVS32's range.
Does this work with my trolling motor?
Yes. The LVS34 can be mounted to a Garmin Force, Force Pro, or Force Kraken trolling motor shaft (Garmin-specific mount required) or to a dedicated LiveScope pole. Most tournament anglers use the trolling motor mount for hands-free steering of the LiveScope beam. For non-Garmin trolling motors, use a dedicated LiveScope pole.
Can I upgrade to LiveScope XR later?
Yes. The GLS 10 black box included with this bundle works with LiveScope Plus (LVS34), LiveScope XR (LVS36, sold separately for approximately $1,500), and LiveScope Original (LVS32). Future-proof in that sense.
What's included in the box?
Head unit, LVS34 transducer, GLS 10 black box, gimbal mount, power and data cables, NMEA 2000 cables, sun cover, quick-start guide, and U.S. Inland + Coastal mapping pre-loaded.
Is this used in tournaments?
Yes, commonly. LiveScope Plus is the current tournament-standard forward-looking live sonar for bass tournaments (B.A.S.S. Elite, MLF Pro Tour, FLW Tour) where live sonar is permitted. Tournament rules around LiveScope use vary by circuit, check your specific circuit's regulations before tournament day.
