posting here because i’m not getting a response on the Garmin page. Does anybody know if the Garmin Panoptic Ice Kits are touchscreen or not? Are only the “PLUS” head units touchscreen and the Icekit only comes with the non-touchscreen model? I ask because the ones I see for sale don’t have touchscreen, yet most of the Panoptic videos I see people make on youtube they have touchscreen.
The ones I have seen are all touch screens, and my 73cv kit is also a touch screen. Perhaps the videos you are seeing are with first generations?
what does your headunit say on the front upper left hand corner? Echomap 73cv?
Older ones are not touch screen… those were the chirp models. The newer ice kit comes with a plus CV and PS22, which is touch screen.
If the keys on the side are =,-,1,2,3,4 then its a plus. If it has arrows and maybe a few other buttons, then that’s the older chirp model. The chirp kit might have been sold for 2-3 seasons?
The nice part about the plus units is you can add livescope at any point too. A 73CV plus is what I have used anyways.
The plus units are both touch and button. I snagged a hell of a deal from glens in Grand Rapids on a new 73cv plus ice bundle for 450. Livescope next!!!
Good to know, appreciate the replies!

Not many people know this, but even the PS21 will do downward view, you just have to adjust the display. Otherwise, you’ll drop $500 for the PS22
That perspective view on the LVS32 is something else!
