Recording Livescope on Echomap Plus 93sv!

[Slapshot2500]

I was given these instructions for unlocking recording livescope on a Echomap Plus 93sv and they actually work!

1. Set Livescope Depth Range to 21ft
2. Change color scheme in this order: Amber, Red Shad, Copper, Orange crawfish, Black Emerald, Midnight Blue, Midnight Blue
3. Click Menu, Menu ---> Sonar recording option

The resulting file is a .GMB file; I have been unable to find a program that can play it back. I assume this is some sort of debug/internal testing menu that Garmin programmed in.

Anyone have any ideas on how to view the GMB file? I can upload the file to dropbox if anyone wants to try it out.

Interesting. The Pros definitely know!

A GMB file is associated with a lot of nintendo video games. Are you sure that is the correct extension? Send it to me please or a link to the dropbox.

Yup-that's what it creates.

Soooooo do you have to go through that sequence every time you want to record or do it once and your good to go???

WinDS.Pro is supposed to be able to open/run gmb files. I haven't figured out how to do it yet though.

Try VLC

That's a video game emulator; I doubt it will work, but let us know!

Every time you turn the unit off you need to enter it again.

Does anyone know if this works for the ultra units? I wanted to get one but they also don’t record. 106 ultra.

If there's still one on display at Cabela's I'll try it on Friday and let you know.

I was unable to get it to work, but the unit did not have a memory card in it.

tried on EM+95sv, got a GMB file, but unable to play it even installed WinDS Pro, it's just not playing.

Scammer! Beware!

On a 126sv there is a record sonar option on the menu but there isn't any way to playback the file even on the unit itself. I think there used to be an app called HomePort that would but no longer supported by Garmin

Pretty sure you are wasting your time.
