{{+1}}Garmin Panoptics / Live scope – Perspective mode{{-1}}
{{start}}
I have set out below a series of photos of all the screens/pages that you will come across when tuning in your Garmin Sonar to Panoptics Perspective mode. It's taken me many months to work out the right setting to get the most out of Garmin Panoptics Perspective mode.
Not everyone has as much time as I do to work these things out so I am happy to share my settings with you.
Basically all you have to do is to open each screen/photo on your Garmin Sonar and change your settings to agree with mine.
TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND
- Don't use or make any changes to your sounder settings unless your transducer is in the water. If your transducer is turned on but is not in the water you run the risk of your transducer overheating and being damaged.
- Don't forget to make the correct selection i.e. "Perspective", "Forward" or "Down"selection on your transducer before deploying it.
Start by turning your Garmin sounder on and then turn your LVS32 or LVS34 transducer on.
In around a minute the Options page below will show up on your sounder as shown below.
Click on the Panoptix icon.
That will bring up a screen/photo which is a basic layout of the Perspective screen as it currently is programmed into your sounder.
Click on the menu button toward the right hand bottom of the page.
That will take you to the "Perspective Menu" page.
On that page you will se that the page is identified in to top right hand corner of the page with the page name, in this case, "Perspective Menu".
As you move forward you will see that all other screens/photos also have their name in top right hand corner.
PROCEDURE TO BE CARRIED OUT ON EACH SCREEN/PAGE IS:
Each page shows a menu down the right hand side of the page describing each setting and to the right of that a description showing either"
- The settings that you should enter in the same position on your sounder, or
- One or more sets of two chevrons that look like this >>. Each of those sets of chevrons will take you to a page related to the page your on.
As you move onto each page/screen change the settings to the same as on my equivalent screen/page.
So, using the "Perspective Menu" screen/page above as an example:
- In the "Gain" field on your sounder enter 90%
- In the "Range field on your sounder enter 26m
- Leave the Pause Sonar field as it is. If you click on Pause Sonar that is exactly what will happen and you will have to restore the setting to "Pause Sonar" if you want to use your sonar>
- Select the first double chevron (>>) that will take you to the "Sonar Setup" page/screen.
- Select the second double chevron that will take you to the "Edit Overlays screen/page.
- Carry out the procedure above to that screen/page.
- Use the "Procedure above on all the other screen/page".
Carry out the procedure above to that page.
I have shown each of the remaining screens/pages below in the order I prefer to proceed.
HERE IS A SINGLE PAGE SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE PROCESS IN .pdf format
You can of course download this page and take it with you on the water if you find working of a camera screen of the above post. From there you can follow my PDF and make the eight changes to the factory settings.
. ... hope this is of interest and helpful to you.
