Sell Your Garmin LiveScope
We pay $410–$1,127 for used LiveScope units, depending on model and condition.
LiveScope is the live sonar most anglers ask for by name, and a used system sells fast. If you're upgrading to XR, or switching brands, your current system is worth selling on its own.
Find your system below to see exactly what we pay.

Which LiveScope do I have?
- Three LiveScope transducers exist, and the label on the transducer tells you which: LVS32 (original LiveScope, 2018), LVS34 (LiveScope Plus, 2022) or LVS62 (LiveScope XR, 2022). All three use the same GLS 10 black box.
- Size is another tell. The LVS62 (XR) is the big one: 8.2 in long and 2.66 lb. The LVS34 is 6.4 in and 2.25 lb. The LVS32 is 5.4 in and 1.87 lb.
- A "system" is the transducer plus the GLS 10. If you only have the transducer, tell us; we price it differently. Don't confuse LiveScope with the older Panoptix PS22 or the single-array LVS12, which are different products.
Garmin LiveScope specs
| LiveScope Plus (LVS34 + GLS 10) | Released March 2022 at $1,699.99 ($1,199.99 for the transducer alone). Forward, Down and Perspective modes. Range to 200 ft. 530 to 1,100 kHz. Garmin claims 35% better target separation than the original. |
|---|---|
| LiveScope XR (LVS62 + GLS 10) | Released July 2022 at $2,999.99 ($2,499.99 for the transducer alone). Forward, Down and Perspective. Range to 500 ft in fresh water and 350 ft in salt. 265 to 550 kHz, built for deep and open water. |
| Original LiveScope (LVS32 + GLS 10) | Released June 2018 at $1,499.99. Forward and Down at launch; Perspective added in 2020 with a separate mount. Range to 200 ft. Not in Garmin's current lineup. |
| GLS 10 sonar module | The same black box across all three. 9.7 x 5.9 x 2.6 in, 4.3 lb. 10 to 32 V DC, 21 W typical, 7.5 A fuse. One transducer port, one Garmin Marine Network port (small connector). Current software 2.79. |
| Field of view | 135 degrees front to back and 20 degrees side to side on all three transducers. |
| What ships in the box (Plus and XR) | GLS 10, transducer, trolling-motor barrel and shaft mounting kit, Perspective mount bracket, power cable, 2 m Garmin Marine Network cable and network adapter cable. No pole and no transom kit. The original 2018 system included a transom kit instead of the Perspective bracket. |
| Upgrading | An LVS34 or LVS62 transducer can be added to an existing GLS 10 with a free software update, so a used GLS 10 alone still has value. |
| What came next | LiveScope 2 and LiveScope 2 HD (July 2026) drop the black box. They are a different product and do not use the GLS 10. |
Which Garmin units and motors work with LiveScope
Every LiveScope system runs through the GLS 10 black box on the Garmin Marine Network, so the head unit needs a network port. Check this before you sell.
| Chartplotter, motor or mount | Works? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GPSMAP 8400 / 8600 / 8600xsv, GPSMAP 9000, GPSMAP x3 (7x3 to 16x3) | Yes | Listed by Garmin for Plus and XR. |
| GPSMAP x2 Plus (7x2, 9x2, 12x2 Plus), GPSMAP 7400 / 7600 | Yes | Listed by Garmin. Update the chartplotter software when you install. |
| ECHOMAP Ultra and Ultra 2 | Yes | Listed by Garmin for Plus and XR. |
| ECHOMAP UHD 7 and 9 in, UHD2 9 in | Yes | The 7 and 9-inch models only. Garmin's lists do not include the 5 and 6-inch UHD2 or the cv models. |
| ECHOMAP Plus 7 and 9 in | Yes | Supported since the original 2018 system. |
| GPSMAP 1222 / 1242 / 1243 | Yes, with a catch | Dealers sell LiveScope bundles for these, but they are not on Garmin's published list. Confirm before you buy. |
| STRIKER and STRIKER Vivid | No | No Garmin Marine Network port, so no LiveScope. |
| Small ECHOMAP (4, 5, 6 in) and older non-Plus units | No | Not on any Garmin list. |
| Garmin Force and Force Kraken trolling motors | Yes | The included mounts fit the Force shaft. The Kraken LiveScope bracket (sold separately) holds LVS32, LVS34 or LVS62 and routes the cable inside the shaft. |
| Minn Kota, MotorGuide and other trolling motors | Yes | The included barrel mount clamps any barrel, and the shaft mounts fit shafts up to about 42 mm. Garmin does not warranty third-party mounts. |
| Pole mounts and the Garmin Spy Pole | Yes, with a catch | The LVS34 and LVS62 include pole hardware (pole not included). The LVS62 cannot go on the Adjustable Perspective Shaft Mount when that mount is on a Spy Pole fitted to a trolling motor. |
Yes: plug in and go. Yes, with a catch: works with the software version or cable noted. Needs a module: works only with extra hardware. No: not supported.
Networking with other units
| How it connects | Transducer to the GLS 10, GLS 10 to a chartplotter network port through the small-to-large network adapter cable. Both must share the same ground. |
|---|---|
| One transducer per GLS 10 | Each GLS 10 has a single transducer port. Two transducers means two GLS 10 units. |
| Sharing to more than one screen | The GLS 10 sits on the Garmin Marine Network, so any networked chartplotter can show it. A second plotter port or a GMS 10 port expander is needed for more devices. |
| Two LiveScopes on one boat | Supported since GLS 10 software 2.55 (beam overlay for multiple GLS 10 units). Pick the source on the chartplotter under Sonar Setup, Source. |
| Software | Update the chartplotter software when you install any LiveScope transducer. GLS 10 software 2.57 or later is needed for the LVS34. |
Trolling motors, anchors and accessories
| Accessory | Works? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Garmin trolling motor as heading source | Yes | GLS 10 software 2.74 or later. |
| Perspective Mode | Yes, with a catch | Plus and XR include the Perspective mount bracket. The original system needs the separate Perspective Mode Mount. |
| Ice fishing | Yes, with a catch | LVS34-IF is the ice version of the Plus transducer, sold separately at $1,199.99. |
| TargetLock-style steering | No | Garmin has no TargetLock. The Spy Pole (2026) gives independent sonar control instead. |
Yes: plug in and go. Yes, with a catch: works with the software version or cable noted. Needs a module: works only with extra hardware. No: not supported.

Common questions
How much is my used Garmin LiveScope worth?
Right now we pay $410 to $1,127 for a used LiveScope, depending on the model and its condition. The table on this page shows our offer for each one. These are the prices we pay, not estimates.
Does it have to work?
Yes. We buy units that power on and work properly. Scratches and normal wear are fine; just pick the condition that fits. We can’t take units with cracked screens or water damage.
Who pays for shipping?
Every LiveScope offer on this page is over $300, so shipping is on us. We email you a prepaid UPS label after checkout.
How do I get paid?
We send payment within 3 business days of receiving and checking your unit. Choose check, PayPal or Zelle at checkout.
Will my transducer and live sonar work on a newer unit?
See the compatibility chart on this page. The short version: the newer the software, the fewer older units it networks with. If you're upgrading, check that chart before you sell your old accessories with the display.
What should I include?
Send the display with its power cable and mounting bracket. A missing power cable is a $25 deduction and a missing bracket is $20. If you’re selling the transducer too, include it and pick the matching version in the quote tool.
Where this information comes from
Specs and compatibility above come from the manufacturer's manuals, catalogs and support pages, checked November 2026. Software versions change; confirm the current version before you buy or sell an accessory.
