ok, then it is very likely the brightness sensor that causes the problem. Manual screen brightness is currently the best option ^^
Thanks for the reply.

I'm using lvs12 since its release, and it works somewhat for about 25m (~ 80 feet) forward, although clarity decreases with distance. Downwards it works a little better, but i never used it that...

Hi,
After updating to the lates software (june 2021), I noticed that auto-brightness gradually decreases the brightness (about every second) until minimum, which is almost completely dark. Currently...

Ok, then I'm relieved that this is quite normal. Thx!

Hi all. I noticed, that my echomap Ultra is getting pretty hot sometimes, display as well as the backside. This may be partly attributed to having the unit in direct sunlight, but still, it's getting...

A blurred picture always looks sharper on a smaller screen ... surprise surprise. A display can only show the information that is there. On a bigger screen, a pixelated picture looks more pixelated....

Hmm there's a pause button where you can pause the transducer. If I remember correctly you can also shut it off in the settings. But it would totally make sense to not have it running, when no...

Do those units support kmz formatted maps now? I'am using a Garmin e-trex, where I marked the boundaries of the districts for which I own a fishing licence (The lake is split in many tracts) on...

This shouldn't be a problem as the catchable fish, like large free-water pikes and zanders, do not tend to swim around in schools. I guess those big fish should appear differently on the display....

Is the 3d historical function somewhat useful in navigating to fish signals that you've already passed? What I found was, that what makes pelagic fishing difficult is that when you move your boat...

Sorry, should have been "pelagically".

I am not sure if the term "pelagic sharpshooting" is also used outside of europe. It comes from sweden, and specificly targets large specimen of Zander and...

I agree that the PS30 is currently the best solution for this task from Garmin. It appears to me that this transducer can be directly connected to the Echomap Ultra units via the ethernet port, and...

@LWINCHESTER2
As far as my understanding goes, classical 2d sonar, as well as 2d down scan do not necessarily need a bottom to work properly. When fishing in free water, I can set the depth to 40ft...

Is there something like an API for Garmin fishfinders? This task would be relatively simple if the software modules were open source. It would be sufficient, to use the regular down-scan display for...

Hi all!
I am fishing at a lake in Austria, which has bathtub like characteristics. From the shore, it gets deep very quickly, being around 200ft+ deep at most of the area of the lake. The water...

Increased area coverage and higher sensing resolution.

It's already two years now, but if I remember correctly, the System asks you for what purpose you want to use a SD card on first insert. But this might have changes with software updates. Making a...

I think he wants to overlay the map with a georeferenced satellite image from google earth. This i.e. worked for Garmin etrex, but afaik the Fishfinder-Chartplotters do not support the kmz format.

The slice of water that is in the perceptive field of the live scope is a bit narrow. One does not always succeed in perfectly casting the bait into the exact direction.
When anchoring at a spot,...

Do you all really think there is as big a difference between the implementations of the classical applications (2D chirp, DI, SI) ? As far as I am converned it looks all pretty similar to me. E.g. in...

Hopefully, the whole Garmin Account userdata was not compromised. This is something I really do not like about having/needing a user-account for practically everything (i.e. Active captain). Since...

Hi!
I am new to the forum, allthough I've been reading since spring last year when I was looking into buying a new fishfinder.
In the end I used Garmins spring rebate and got myself an Ultra 102sv...
