Garmin Livescope 2 LVS42HD

Garmin Livescope 2 LVS42HD is a top-notch new product from Garmin for the 2026 season! The Livescope 2 LVS42HD is the sensor that produces the clearest live image on the market, with image clarity over 50 percent better than its predecessor (LVS34). Based on the first tests, it provides truly amazing images that take live sonar to a whole new level! The beam angle of the LVS42HD sensor in perspective and downward view is 180 degrees, and in forward view, it is 165 degrees.

Garmin Livescope 2 LVS42HD sensor's range is approximately 30-40 meters, so the sensor is specifically focused on the needs of precision fishing. The top-class image and resolution make this sensor a tool for active anglers that has never been seen on the market before. With the Livescope 2 LVS42HD sensor, you can truly distinguish the target fish and even the smallest details that other live sensors on the market fail to show.

Garmin Livescope 2 LVS42HD sensor's new feature is that it works without the GLS10 Black Box unit. The bifurcated cable from the sensor is connected directly to the sonar's Ethernet port and the boat's power supply/battery. The sensor cable length is 5.5 m, and extension cables are available if needed. Thanks to its advanced technology, the new Livescope 2 is significantly more energy-efficient than its predecessors.

Garmin Livescope 2 LVS42HD is compatible with the most common Garmin sonar devices. Livescope 2 works seamlessly with, among others, the following Garmin device series: Echomap Ultra, Echomap Ultra 2, GPSMAP 1223/1623 series, GPSMAP 8000 series, GPSMAP 9000 series, and Echomap UHD2.
