    Default Perspective Mode update for Panoptix Livescope

    The Perspective Mode update for Panoptix Livescope worked for me finally. Now just have to wait for the bracket to turn it. Or make a makeshift one myself.

    This is a pic of holding it horizontally in water by hand. That seems to be the only way to turn it on to see if it's actually installed correctly.

    I tried to do the update twice yesterday on my 122sv and my unit won't read or recognize the files. I even did the active captain setup and downloaded the app on my phone and can't get the two to sync. Any tips you could provide would help, I'm assuming you had issues as well as you stated the update "finally" worked for you.

    I just could not find the right place to download the file. Just download it, and un-zip it to an SD card, and stick it in your Garmin unit. I did not use the Garmin Express app. at all.

    Here's the link I used: Garmin: echoMAP with SD Card Updates & Downloads

    Got it to work, for some reason yesterday I was only getting partial downloads of the files. Good to go now, will give it a try hopefully tomorrow. Perspective Mode update for Panoptix Livescope

    Got the DIY angle bracket implemented just fine, eg.. the 90 degree piece of PVC. Of course this in temp only, as to use it the old way it'll have to be mounted back to "vertical" again.

    Honestly, I'm not impressed. Pictured above is my sea wall, and of course that's easily seen, but anything else is hard to make out. I suppose if it wasn't so windy out as it was, and the boat was still, I'd be able to see moving fish better. But right now, my opinion is, eh.. I love it in the vertical view, and this horizontal view is a great idea, but like I said, as of right now I'm not impressed. Time will tell.

    It may be the angle of the pic but it appears the 7 degree tilt built into the mount has your transducer looking up...rather than tilted down.
