The Humminbird XPLORE 12 Control Head Only pairs a 12-inch Full-HD display with MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar in a transducer-free package designed for anglers who plan to connect Minn Kota Built-in MEGA Imaging trolling motors, MEGA 360 Imaging accessories, or an existing Humminbird Ethernet sonar network. Preloaded LakeMaster and CoastMaster map cards covering 13 regions across the United States and Canada come included, and built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet keep the unit fully integrated within the One-Boat Network ecosystem.

Control Head Only (No Transducer Included):

This CHO model connects to Built-in MEGA Imaging on Minn Kota trolling motors, accessory transducers such as MEGA 360 Imaging, or a shared sonar feed over an existing Humminbird Ethernet network. All views are accessible through a touch screen or directional keypad from the intuitive menu system.

Full-HD Display with Cross Touch Interface:

The 1280H x 800V resolution screen renders sonar returns and chart detail with exceptional clarity. The Cross Touch interface lets you operate every function by touchscreen or keypad depending on conditions.

Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar (with optional transducer):

Wide Mode delivers maximum coverage while Narrow Mode isolates fine structural detail. Powered by a Low-Q CHIRP transducer, the sonar produces well-defined fish arches and clear bottom definition before the first cast.

MEGA Side Imaging+ (with optional transducer):

Side Imaging coverage extends out to 200 feet on each side of the hull, delivering 20% more detail and 60% more range than standard MEGA Side Imaging sonar.

MEGA Down Imaging+ (with optional transducer):

Down Imaging reaches 200 feet beneath the boat with 20% more detail and 60% greater depth capability than standard MEGA Down Imaging sonar.

Internal GPS and Humminbird Basemap:

The onboard basemap covers more than 10,000 lakes plus coastal areas across the continental U.S., with buoys, day markers, hazards, marinas, contours, and depth markers clearly plotted for confident navigation.

Premium Chart Compatibility:

The unit supports Humminbird LakeMaster and CoastMaster charts as well as compatible Navionics charts. LakeMaster and CoastMaster mapping cards with North American standard data are included in the box.

Networking:

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet connectivity enable full integration with Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon products through the One-Boat Network.
