    Garmin Livescope Question

    I am getting a new boat in a few weeks and I am looking at having the Garmin Livescope on the front. The dealer is telling me that I need 2 graphs up front, one graph as the fish finder and one for the Livescope. Im thinking that I can have just the one with the Livescope. He doesn't think this is a good idea and that I would be disappointed by having only the Livescope up front. I will also have a Garmin graph in the console. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Post your Garmin questions over on the Garmin page......more traffic there that can help..........

    To answer your question, you dont need 2 graphs, it will run on one graph along with everything else....more than likely what he is sayin is that it would be better to have a full screen dedicated to LiveScope while another screen dedicated to something else like, maps, sonar, etc. What size graphs??

    Get two 93sv Plus rather than one 10-12" unit

    I would start with one 12" and switch back and forth between map, sonar, and livescope before I would go with one or two 9". I have a 10" and a 12" up front and a 12" at the console, and size far outweighs number of units.

    I just run one 8612 up front and am completely happy with that setup. I don't know that I would want another unit up there unless someone could convince me with good reason why I would want another unit up there. The only thing I might want is a unit showing the fishing charts so I could see the contours so I could go Livescope points, humps, and ledges that I obviously can not see from the surface.
