Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra Chartplotter/Sonar Combo, Panoptix LiveScope Support, GT56UHD-TM Transducer, UHD ClearVü, UHD SideVü, NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi ActiveCaptain App

Overview

The Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra is a fishfinder and GPS chartplotter combo that pairs a keyed-assist touchscreen display with a GT56UHD-TM transducer for traditional CHIRP and Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar. This page covers the 10-inch and 12-inch display sizes, with either a Worldwide basemap or Garmin Navionics+ as the chart package.

It’s a practical setup for boats where you want charts and sonar on one screen at the helm. The interface is built around touch, with physical keys to keep common actions simple when the boat is moving and your hands are wet.

Support for NMEA 2000 and LiveScope gives you room to expand the system later, whether that means tying into a network backbone or adding compatible live sonar.

Variants

This unit is offered in multiple configurations to match helm space and the chart package you want onboard.

Across the range, the main differences are display size and the included charts and maps option.

• 010-02528-01: Display Size 12" and Charts & Maps Worldwide basemap. The basemap provides a starting point for navigation and route planning, with chart upgrades available separately if you need more local detail.
• 010-02529-51: Display Size 12" and Charts & Maps Garmin Navionics+. This configuration includes the Garmin Navionics+ chart package option for the unit.
• 010-02526-01: Display Size 10" and Charts & Maps Worldwide basemap. The smaller footprint can be easier to place on compact consoles while keeping charts and sonar together.
• 010-02527-51: Display Size 10" and Charts & Maps Garmin Navionics+. This configuration pairs the 10-inch format with the Garmin Navionics+ chart package option.

Installation and setup

Plan the display location where you can comfortably reach the touchscreen and keys without leaning, and where spray and washdowns won’t constantly soak the connector area. Leave space behind the unit for cable bends and service access so the wiring is not forced into sharp turns.

The GT56UHD-TM is a transom-mount transducer. For clean returns at speed, mount it where it stays in solid water flow and away from strakes, steps, and fittings that introduce aerated water.

Electrical and system integration

NMEA 2000 support lets the unit share data with compatible devices on the backbone, and LiveScope support keeps the door open for live sonar expansion. If you are integrating multiple electronics, keep all connections strain-relieved and routed so they won’t chafe in vibration.

As with any sonar install, route transducer and network cabling away from high-current runs where possible, and secure cables so they don’t move or pull on the connectors in rough water.

Use on board

This setup suits anglers who run inshore structure, flats edges, reefs, and nearshore water where you’re switching between charting and sonar all day. It also fits small cruisers that want a combined navigation and depth-finding screen at the helm.

When screen space is tight, the 10-inch option keeps the dash cleaner. When you rely on split-screen views, the 12-inch option gives more room for chart and sonar panes without feeling cramped.
