Garmin® brings Panoptix LiveScope live scanning sonar to even more anglers with the new single-array LVS12 transducer

OLATHE, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN), today
announced the Panoptix
LiveScope™ LVS12
, a new transducer in the award-winning
Panoptix LiveScope series that offers both 30-degree forward and
30-degree down real-time scanning sonar views. The single-array
LiveScope LVS12 transducer is an economical solution for inland and
near-shore anglers without the need for a black box. Garmin’s
revolutionary Panoptix™ all-seeing sonar technology was the first to
deliver live sonar images in real-time – forwards, backwards, and below
the boat – even while stationary. Now, thanks to the active scanning
capabilities of Panoptix LiveScope, anglers can see images and movement
so clear and precise that it’s even possible to distinguish between
species of fish.

“Panoptix LiveScope is an absolute game-changer, and we’re excited to
bring this live, real-time scanning sonar technology to even more
anglers with the addition of the Panoptix LVS12,” said Dan Bartel,
Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Whether you’re drop
shotting from the bow, jigging or fishing a dock, the Panoptix LVS12
delivers an easy-to-interpret real-time sonar image so you can spend
less time looking for the fish and more time catching them.”

Like other Garmin Panoptix transducers, the LiveScope LVS12 features two
modes in one transducer – LiveScope Down and LiveScope Forward – and can
be installed on a trolling motor or the transom. Depending on the
anglers fishing preferences and techniques, they can choose to view both
modes simultaneously or each individually from the chartplotter without
any manual adjustment of the transducer. Both views provide incredibly
sharp, real-time scanning sonar images up to 200 feet down or away from
the boat, even when the boat is stationary. The LiveScope LVS12 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.

The Panoptix LiveScope LVS12 includes a trolling motor barrel and shaft
mounting kit as well as a transom mounting kit. Currently, the LVS12 is
compatible with Garmin’s new GPSMAP^® 8400/8600xsv
multifunction displays, and is available now with a suggested retail
price of $499.99. For more information, videos and images, visit www.garmin.com/panoptix.
