Overview

The Garmin 010-02688-01/LVS34 is a 9-inch touchscreen chartplotter and fishfinder bundle that combines an ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv with a GT56-TM transducer and the LiveScope Plus LVS34 real-time sonar system. The display runs 1024 x 600 resolution and uses a keyed-assist layout so you can still work the unit when hands are wet or cold.

Power is 9 to 18 Vdc and the unit is IPX7 rated, which fits typical helm electronics installs on freshwater and coastal boats. Built-in Garmin Navionics+ U.S. inland maps cover more than 18,000 lakes with up to 1 ft contours, so it is easy to confirm you are buying the right mapping region for where you run.

This bundle makes sense for anglers who want scanning views for structure, plus live sonar for working jigs, tracking suspended fish, or seeing what is happening ahead of the boat when you are on a trolling motor.

Installation and setup

Plan your install around two sonar sources: the GT56-TM on the transom for traditional and scanning sonar, and the LiveScope Plus LVS34 mounted on a trolling motor, shaft, or in Perspective orientation. The GLS 10 sonar module needs a dry, supported mounting location with clean cable routing, then it connects to the chartplotter over the included network cable.

On the power side, this unit is built for 9 to 18 Vdc systems, so a dedicated 12 V electronics feed is the normal approach. Leave room behind the display for cabling and strain relief, including about 118 mm of clearance for the wiring bend radius and connectors.

Sonar and mapping notes

The GT56-TM handles day-to-day scouting by showing bottom hardness, edges, brush, and bait with ClearVü and SideVü, while traditional sonar helps confirm arches and depth. LiveScope Plus adds the real-time view that is useful when you are hovering over a spot, following fish that move, or watching how fish react to your presentation.

The included cartography is focused on U.S. inland lakes and rivers. If you run coastal water or travel outside that region, plan for the charts that match where you navigate.

Networking and on-board integration

Wi-Fi lets you share user data such as waypoints and routes with a compatible ECHOMAP UHD2 unit and keeps updates straightforward through the ActiveCaptain app. NMEA 2000 support is there when you want the chartplotter to also act as a hub for compatible accessories, so one screen can cover navigation plus the boat data you care about while underway.
