Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 12" Chart plotter 122sv without Transducer

Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 12" Chart plotter 

Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 12" Chart plotter  are a premium 12-inch powerhouse designed for the angler who demands the best detail and the most reliable tech on the water.

This specific model is the "without transducer" version, making it the perfect choice if you already have a compatible transducer installed, are looking to upgrade to a specific through-hull or in-hull model, or intend to pair it immediately with the game-changing LiveScope™ system.

The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv features a massive, sunlight-readable 12" touchscreen with keyed assist, giving you the best of both worlds: intuitive touch navigation and tactile buttons for when the conditions get rough.

What sets the Ultra 2 apart is its refined connectivity. It features multi-band GPS for pinpoint accuracy—essential when you're trying to return to that exact secret spot in a crowded estuary or out at sea. It also introduces wireless networking, allowing you to share sonar, waypoints, and routes with other compatible ECHOMAP Ultra 2 or UHD2 units on your boat without the hassle of running extra cables through the hull.

Whether you're coastal cruising or hunting for prize catches, the support for Garmin Navionics+™ charts provides industry-leading detail, while the built-in UHD sonar capabilities (transducer sold separately) ensure you see exactly what’s happening beneath the surface with photographic clarity.

Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 12" Chart plotter  FAQs

What does "Without Transducer" actually mean for my setup?

This version of the 122sv is the "head unit only" option. It is perfect if you are upgrading an existing Garmin system and already have a compatible transducer installed, or if you want to custom-build your sonar setup—perhaps by adding a thru-hull transducer or the legendary LiveScope™ system. If you’re starting from scratch and want standard sonar, you will need to purchase a transducer (like the GT56) separately.

How does the Ultra 2 differ from the original ECHOMAP Ultra?

The Ultra 2 brings some brilliant upgrades to the helm. The most notable is Wireless Networking, allowing you to share sonar, waypoints, and routes with other Ultra 2 or UHD2 units without running extra cables. It also features Multi-band GPS for significantly improved position accuracy, and a new Screen Recording feature via the ActiveCaptain® app, so you can capture and share your biggest catches.

Can I use LiveScope™ with this unit?

Absolutely. The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 122sv is fully compatible with the entire LiveScope™ line-up, including the LVS34. Because this is a 12-inch unit with a high-resolution WXGA IPS display (1280 x 800 pixels), it provides one of the best viewing platforms available for live-scanning sonar.

What charts come preloaded on the 122sv?

The 122sv comes preloaded with a Worldwide Basemap. For the detailed coastal and inland mapping required for UK waters, we recommend adding Garmin Navionics+™ or the premium Garmin Navionics Vision+™ microSD cards. These provide high-resolution relief shading, satellite imagery, and Auto Guidance+™ technology.

Is the screen easy to see in direct sunlight?

Yes, very. The 12-inch IPS (In-Plane Switching) display is designed specifically for the marine environment. It offers wider viewing angles and excellent clarity, even if you’re wearing polarised sunglasses.

Can I share data with my other on-board electronics?

The 122sv is a powerhouse for connectivity. It features:

• • NMEA 2000®: Connect to your autopilot, Fusion-Link™ audio, engine data, and digital switching.
  • Wireless Networking: Share sonar and user data between compatible ECHOMAP units.
  • Force® Trolling Motor Integration: Control your motor directly from the touchscreen.

How do I mount the unit on my boat?

In the box, we provide a Quick-Release Bail Mount, which is ideal for easy removal at the end of the day. However, if you prefer a sleek, integrated look, the unit is also ready for Flush Mounting (hardware included).
