man it would be great if i could find a video just like this for my uhd2 73sv unit!!!!! new to garmin and the tech of it, a step by step like you have done here would be priceless...HELP...
Like wise 😊
same i cant find anything....
Always enjoy your videos. I don't get a lot of time on the water to learn the fine points of setting up my electronics so I find your presentations very helpful. Thank you
Thank you Bernard
31:15 this is excellent
I would Love the spreadsheets.
Thank you so much! So easy to understand!
Send me an email doubletfishing@outlook.com
Wow, such great help especially if you get the spreadsheet and follow the settings! Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome, let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again, sir! Very helpful for my 73CV.
Have a great day!!
All great information, as usual. Thank you!
Appreciate it Frank!!
Contour lines are displayed on my echomap 73sv on same lake.
Thanks & good videos by the way. 👍
Thanks for that 👍 Just updated the software and my charts a few days ago and the "Benelux and Germany West" chart got corrupted somewhere between the Active Captain and the Echomap UHD 95SV, Garmin recommended that I use Garmin Express to update the charts for UK and Ireland + Benelux and Germany west.
Downloaded to a SD card now and will try updating again when I get back to the boat.
Thanks for sharing, have a great day!!
Great Info thanks so much
Have a great day Vance!
Great info mate
Have a great day!
Thanks for all the help on graphs . Are you familiar with Sea Clear wiring harness . Just wondering if you are or know anyone that uses it .
I have seen the advertisements and videos, looks like a good product except I’m not fond of the connections. I prefer solder or crimp personally. Have a great day!
Ah this is perfect cause I’m really close to pulling the trigger on the uhd2
FYI, The UHD2 has a different menu structure than this video. Have a great day!!
This is great help for all Garmin users.
We appreciate the support!!
Great video how do you the updates?
Couple ways, you can synch your active captain app on your phone to your chartplotter or take a blank micro sd card, 32GB or less then Google “Garmin marine software updates” and follow the instructions.
So I have my uhd 93sv set to your spreadsheet settings. It was crisp clear, looked fantastic. All of a sudden, the resolution went horrible. I can barely make out a rock. All connections are tight. 13.7 volts. The unit is virtually useless right now. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
The brightness reverts back to Auto every time you go in and out of a sonar screen. You need to adjust it each time. Also double check you have the ZOOM functions turned off except magnify. Lastly select a lower frequency if available to see if that clears up the image. Pull the unit out of the cradle and check the pin connections. The most likely might be the actual transducer got hit, came loose changing its position out of level.
I have the 126 Garmin Eco Maps unit. In charts, in Navigation instead of fishing Navigation I don’t see any vessel speed, like I do in Fishing Navigation. Is there a setting that can be turned on to have that show in Navigation?
I’m not sure, I only setup my fishing navigation charts?
I just had a new 106SV and 126SV Ultra installed on my Bass Cat and did the updates. Do I need to leave the micro SD card in the units all the time? I just switched over to Garmin from Lowrance so still figuring things out. My Lowrance unit which was an HDS 10 Gen2 I left the Navionics card in all the time. Thanks for any help. Bill
Hi Bill, you only needs 1 card in either of the two units, if they are networked together, having two or more cards in a network causes problems
I tried to buy you a coffee but the website message is "insufficient funds" on both of my credit cards, which isn't true. There may be some issues there. Anyway, thanks so much for breaking down the functions so well and completely.
No problem James I appreciate the support and hope you have a great day!
How do you manage how the Chart Display displays the name of the lake? I'm finding that if I have it set on High Detail to see all the contour lines, the Lake Name is repeated all over the lake and it covers up too much of the display. Is there a way to minimize the Lake Name detail while showing all the contour lines? This is with last year's Echomap 126sv with the built in Navionics chart. The repetitive Lake Names are also evident on the Active Captain app when Chart Detail is in the "Most" and between Most and Normal settings.
Sorry I hadn’t run into that problem, I keep my map detail on normal.
Just took my new 93sv out for the first time and keep getting transducer not connected. Brand new unit. I have done the update. Any ideas on where to start? Thanks for all you do.
Once in awhile there is some residual coating on the pin connectors. Pull the unit out of the cradle and take a look at the pins in the back to see if any are bent. Then look at the holes in the back of the unit to make sure they are clear. Unplug your transducer cable from the back of the cradle and do the same. When you go to plug them back in do it a couple times to “wipe” the pin contact surface for a better connection. Try that and see if it helps
That’s what I did on the water and fixed it during tournament. When I got home slapped a little bit of dielectric grease on it no problems since
Garmin wound up sending me a new cradle.
Contouring lines don’t load on echomap 93sv when on a mapped lake.
There are some lakes that contour shading does not work
can you please make a video on how to update your garmin echomap
Will do!
At about 7:58 you go to advanced settings on side view, but I don't see how you got there.
Sorry, just open up the side vu screen then go to the menu button in the bottom right. When that menu pops up go to sonar settings and at the bottom is advanced.
I have the ECHOMAP UHD 73SV, my options for sidevu and clearvu are no longer on my graph.
Have you seen anything like that before?
No can’t say as I have, check and see which transducer is selected. I leave the setting in “auto”
This is really great info. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share this. TTFISHING.
Thanks Mark! Have a great day
Thanks Mark, have a great day!!
Whats the unit called that keeps your boat icon from spinning on the maps when you're stopped or slow drift?
You can try using a different “map orientation”. I use the course up selection. I’ve been told adding a Garmin heading sensor and associated hardware helps considerably. Have a great day!
What you will need is called the SteadyCast heading sensor. You can’t just plug it into your unit though. You will also need a NMEA 2000 starter kit, a power cable for the NMEA 2000 backbone, and possibly a longer drop cord. I just installed one of these on my boat. It’s really a game changer for your waypoints and maps.
@SavageVoyageur thanks for the reply. I bought one and it's installed. Can't wait to test it out.
Where would place a echo sounder,under water on a two up step,on the back
Not sure, might check with the boat manufacturer and see what transducer placement recommendations they have. Thanks
I have the garmin echo map 106sv. I bought a mount and power cord. When I push the power key to shut off the sonar, without transducer , it does not say shut off sonar? So I am having problems to set up
With no transducer it is not transmitting a signal or generating sonar. You can continue with the set up.
It gives me a screen when I push the sonar button saying to power down to turn sonar on , and I have to push ok. But will not allow me to work inside the sonar. Can you email me the sheets of how you set up your unit
Sure, send me an email and I’ll reply back with the sheets attached doubletfishing@outlook.com
Here’s a video that might help
czcams.com/video/lSqaHg6PLVA/video.htmlsi=Cflm6kqPVGM8QhWz
I updated my Echomap UHD 93sv & gls10 livescope bundle from 20.00 & 2.58 to 27.10 & 2.74 & it’s not nearly as clear as before as far as livescope goes. Gave you heard this anywhere else? Can I go back to the old software by installing the as card I have it saved on? Thanks
I’ve never reverted back to a previous revision? You might give Garmin a call and see if they are getting similar complaints 800 800-1020. I’m sure you can if you have the old update saved, not sure if it requires a reset or not🤔
@@DoubleTFishing I’ve called Garmin & they say they’ve not heard of it. I went fishing two different times & just can’t get it cleared up at all. Makes no sense except the software to me.
I hadn’t heard anyone complain of update issues either? Not sure 🤔
Great buddy. Please send me spread sheet for SV 126 Garmin
Hey Vince, send me an email and I’ll reply back with the attachments. Doubletfishing@outlook.com
Have a great weekend!!
Where did I get your spreadsheets.Thank You
Send me an email to doubletfishing@outlook.com and I’ll reply back with the sheets attached. Have a great day!!
I would like your spreadsheet.
Send me an email to doubletfishing@outlook.com and I’ll reply back with the sheets attached, have a great day!
When Garmin did the firmware Update, they Fucked up all of the videos and tutorials on CZcams, they are now useless!
I’m not sure, unfortunately ive been in ICU for 21 days. Got another week in here then maybe I can put out some revisions
