LiveScope 2 sees more, and shows it to you cleaner.
Garmin's next-generation live-scanning sonar lineup lands with sharper resolution, longer range, and an installation that finally drops the black box.
Since 2018, LiveScope has been the standard other forward-facing sonar systems get measured against. The LiveScope 2 Series doesn't reinvent that formula — it sharpens it. Three new transducers, each aimed at a different way anglers fish, all built around clearer images, better target separation, and a wiring harness with one less box to mount.
What's actually new
The headline number is resolution: LiveScope 2 delivers 20% more resolution across the board, with up to 50% more detail at closer ranges on the HD model. That comes paired with integrated image stabilization and reduced noise, so targets hold their shape as they move through the beam instead of smearing at the edges — the difference between guessing at a shape and knowing it's a fish.
Coverage is wider too. Forward, Down, and Perspective modes all get a wider sonar angle, and faster processing keeps latency low enough to time a hookset off what you're seeing in real time, not what you saw two seconds ago.
The lineup
LiveScope 2
Builds on the proven LiveScope Plus platform for anglers who want to cover more water and reach fish farther from the boat.
LiveScope 2 HD
Optimized for castable distances with Garmin's clearest live sonar to date — built for anglers who fish tight to structure and bait.
LiveScope 2 HD Ice Fishing Transducer
Same HD sonar core in a cold-water build — shorter, flexible cable, an all-in-one power/network cable, and the 0-degree shaft mount included in the box.
Simplified installation
This is the part installers will notice first: LiveScope 2 and LiveScope 2 HD transducers connect directly to a compatible Garmin MFD and power source. No GLS 10 black box, no extra module to find real estate for. Fewer connections on the boat means a cleaner run and less troubleshooting down the line.
Built-in water sensor
Automatically shuts sonar off when the transducer is lifted out of the water.
Onboard temp sensor
Accurate water temperature readings without a separate sender.
Tool-free mounts
Trolling motor barrel mount and adjustable Perspective mode mount included.
Ecosystem-ready
Compatible with the Spy Pole mount and the GT360UHD transducer for combined live and 360° coverage.
