Yep, I just saw that come out on a group too...Need to find out more about it.. Update for the livescope and mount options????
estimated availability on garmin site.. 5-8 weeks
There are a couple of youtube videos up showing the mount and I would assume a software update. Still have seen a release date or pricing for the mount tho.
Man if this is just an update and an L bracket transducer mount, this will be awesome for shallow water fishing and sell the fire out of some more garmin units, while keeping the current owners happy... well played garmin, well played
Looks like the update is free and the swivel bracket will be $99. That will be what some are looking for. For sure be a plus for folks like me who haven’t pulled the hammer yet on buying the system but are looking at it.
Yea it will be huge for folks that fish shallow water. Just a theory, but I suspect they trying to get more interest from bass anglers. Either way I will for sure have it on my unit!
I have the fishing specialties bowducer pole mount. I am afraid there will not be a way to upgrade this mounting option. I hope FS comes thru! I dont want to put LS on my TM , and its not really and option now anyway.
I have the same pole mount and dont see any reasson why it will not work?Quote:

You think the inside diameter of the mount is going to be 1.5" ? it will have to be to fit the poleducer from FS.Quote:

I talked to Mike, from FS , today on the phone. He said best thing is to use the side mount bracket for the poleducer and turn it sideways for perspective view. He said they will be making a mount to use for the new option sometime as well. I dont recall having a side mount with my pole. I will have to look in the box and see if i overlooked it , or if its the same bracket used a different way.Quote:

Odd look. What would fish look like? So used to black background that a screen full of amber on livescope doesn't seem right.

OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the world’s leading marine electronics manufacturer1, today announced a new Perspective Mode feature and transducer positioning accessory for its award-winning Panoptix LiveScope™ sonar. As the first real-time scanning sonar for recreational fishing, LiveScope has transformed the way anglers fish by delivering live images of structure, bait and fish swimming around and below the boat, even while stationary. Now, in addition to the existing LiveScope Forward and Down Modes, anglers can use the new Perspective Mode for unprecedented overhead visibility that’s perfect for shallow water.“Gone are the days of casting blindly under docks and along shorelines for schools or beds of fish thanks to the new LiveScope Perspective Mode”“Gone are the days of casting blindly under docks and along shorelines for schools or beds of fish thanks to the new LiveScope Perspective Mode,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “LiveScope combines two game-changing innovations – scanning sonar and live sonar – to deliver the best of both technologies. Anglers can now see and easily interpret incredibly detailed, real-time images of what’s around and below their boat from three unique vantage points, all with one easy-to-use mount.”

With the new Perspective Mode mount, the LiveScope LVS32 transducer can be easily adjusted to fit an angler’s fishing techniques and preferences, no tools required, and the chartplotter will automatically detect2what mode is being used. Simply turn the transducer sideways to enable the new ‘top down’ perspective mode to see a wide view of what’s in front of the boat up to 50 feet away; point the transducer forward to see around the boat; and point it down to see directly below the boat. All three modes provide incredibly sharp, real-time scanning sonar images of fish swimming and moving toward or away from the boat and below the surface with remarkable target separation and clarity. LiveScope is also equipped with an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) that constantly adjusts sonar beams to compensate for boat motion, so even in rough conditions, anglers will still see a steady sonar image.
Coupled with a Panoptix LiveScope System, the Perspective Mode mount accessory is required for anglers who want to take advantage of the Perspective Mode technology. The LiveScope System includes a compact GLS 10 sonar black box with an LVS32 transducer, and a simple plug-and-play Garmin Marine Network connector for easy installation and integration with a compatible Garmin chartplotter.
Garmin’s Panoptix LiveScope was first introduced to the market in 2018, where it went on to receive the 2018 ICAST Best of Show and Best Electronics awards. Honored as the 2018 Technology of the Year by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), LiveScope was also named a 2019 Top Product by Boating Industry.
The new LiveScope Perspective Mode mount is expected to be available in March 2020 and will retail for $99.99. LiveScope is compatible with GPSMAP® 8400/8600 series MFDs, GPSMAP 7400/7600 series, GPSMAP 7x2/9x2/12x2 Touch/7x2 Plus/9x2 Plus/12x2 Plus series, ECHOMAP™ Plus 70cv/70sv/90sv series, ECHOMAP™ UHD 70cv/70sv/90sv series and the ECHOMAP™ Ultra series.

Some dealers are already taking preorders on the bracket ...
The software is already available at Garmin.com ...

Not 100% positive but I think fish will show up as white marks similar to side scan. I watched a video from Josh Jones @ The bass tank and that’s what it looked like to me. He did say in the video this view will show you the direction fish are swimming so I have to assume they can picked out pretty easily.Quote:

$99 for a simple L bracket and an extra screw (on a basic shaft mount that comes with the unit) seems a bit pricey all the way around, redneck ideas are brewing far and wide as we speak I'm betting :Rofl :popcorn
i saw some guy on bbcboards was either talking about or already had made a 3d printed mount.
BBG Marine has them for $93 shipped.Quote:
