Garmin Unveils LiveScope 2 Live‑Scanning Sonar Series

Overview

• Garmin announced the LiveScope 2 Series on July 7, 2026, and started selling three transducer models that it says deliver clearer real-time underwater views.
• The company claims the new system offers about 20% greater resolution, reduced noise, faster processing, wider sonar coverage, and integrated image stabilization for better target separation.
• Three purpose-built transducers target different uses: the LVS44 for long range up to 250 feet, the LVS42HD for castable ranges to 125 feet with higher close-in detail, and a short‑cable HD ice‑fishing transducer.
• Each LiveScope 2 transducer connects directly to compatible Garmin multi‑function displays and power, removing the separate external processing black box to cut installation time and free space on the boat.
• The series is available now at suggested retail prices of $1,999.99 to $2,199.99, and early coverage noted a modest roughly 1% rise in Garmin’s stock as the product drew market attention.
