Overview

The Garmin 010-02882-10 is a 12-inch ECHOMAP Ultra 2 126sv chartplotter and fishfinder bundle paired with the LiveScope Plus sonar system (GLS 10 and LVS34). Up front you get a 12.1-inch IPS touchscreen with 1280 x 800 resolution, plus preloaded Garmin Navionics+ U.S. Inland and Coastal mapping. The display is IPX7 water rated and runs on 9 to 18 Vdc boat power.

LiveScope Plus adds real-time sonar views with Forward, Down, and Perspective modes, which is the part most anglers are after when they want to watch fish and structure react in the moment. The head unit also supports built-in CHIRP traditional sonar and ClearVü/SideVü scanning sonar (600 W) when you add a compatible 12-pin transducer, so you can build out the rest of your sonar setup around how you rig the boat.

For system integration, it has NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 input/output, and two Garmin Marine Network ports, plus Wi-Fi for networking and app-based management. That makes it a clean fit when you are sharing data between multiple displays or tying in sensors and onboard electronics.

Key features

• 12.1-inch IPS touchscreen with keyed assist and 1280 x 800 resolution
• IPX7 water rating for open-helm and bow installs that see spray and washdowns
• Runs on 9 to 18 Vdc; typical draw 2.5 A at 12 Vdc (5.0 A max) with 36 W max power usage at 10 Vdc
• LiveScope Plus system included: GLS 10 sonar module with LVS34 transducer for real-time sonar views
• Built-in 600 W sonar support for CHIRP traditional plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning (with a compatible 12-pin transducer)
• Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ U.S. Inland and Coastal mapping for navigation and chart reference
• Networking and expansion: NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 I/O, 2 Garmin Marine Network ports, Wi-Fi, and 2 microSD card slots

What’s included

• ECHOMAP Ultra 2 126sv 12-inch chartplotter/fishfinder display with Garmin Navionics+ U.S. Inland and Coastal mapping
• GLS 10 LiveScope sonar module (black box)
• LiveScope Plus LVS34 transducer

Installation and setup

The display can be bail mounted or flush mounted. Overall size is 13.4 x 9.0 x 3.9 inches (34.1 x 22.9 x 9.8 cm) and weight is about 5.5 lb (2.5 kg), so plan for backing support if you are mounting on a thin console panel and leave room behind the unit for cable bends and service access.

LiveScope installs differently than a typical transom transducer. The LVS34 is commonly mounted on a trolling motor shaft, trolling motor barrel, or a pole, while the GLS 10 module is mounted inside the boat in a dry location. Plan your cable routes so the transducer lead is protected from pinch points and the module has space for ventilation.

Electrical and system integration

On most boats this is a straight 12 Vdc install, since the unit accepts 9 to 18 Vdc. If you are running a 24 Vdc or 36 Vdc electrical system, plan on feeding it from a stable 12 V source or a properly sized DC-DC converter.

For networking, use the Garmin Marine Network connection between the display and the GLS 10 so LiveScope data stays fast and responsive. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 make it easier to pull in heading, engine data, and other onboard information depending on how your boat is rigged. Wi-Fi networking is handy when you want to share sonar, waypoints, and routes with compatible displays and keep software and charts up to date.

Use cases on board

This bundle is a strong match for anglers who fish structure, ledges, docks, and open-water schools and want to see targets in real time while they work a bait. It also suits boats that run multiple displays and need a chartplotter that can share data cleanly across the network.

Maintenance and care

Keep the card door and connectors fully seated, especially on boats that see spray or heavy vibration. After saltwater use, a gentle fresh-water rinse and a soft wipe-down helps keep the screen and housing clean without grinding salt into the surface.
