The Humminbird XPLORE 9 Control Head Only (CHO) pairs a 9-inch Full-HD display with MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar, and a built-in GPS receiver loaded with Humminbird Basemap. Exclusive to the XPLORE Series, the unit ships with both LakeMaster and CoastMaster map cards covering 13 regions across the United States and Canada. Designed for anglers who want to pair their own transducer — including MEGA 360 Imaging or Minn Kota trolling motors with Built-in MEGA Imaging — this model connects to the full One-Boat Network ecosystem via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet.

Control Head Only: This unit does not include a transducer. It is an ideal choice for anglers connecting to Built-in MEGA Imaging on Minn Kota trolling motors, accessory transducers such as MEGA 360 Imaging, or an existing Humminbird Ethernet sonar network. The interface is accessible through both touchscreen and directional keypad for reliable operation in any conditions.

Full-HD Display with Cross Touch Interface: The 1280H x 720V resolution delivers sharp detail across sonar returns and chart overlays. Navigation and menu control can be performed via the touchscreen or the physical keypad — whichever suits conditions on the water.

Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar (with optional transducer): Powered by a Low-Q CHIRP transducer, Dual Spectrum mode gives you two search options: Wide Mode for maximum horizontal coverage and Narrow Mode for isolating fine bottom detail and fish arches.

MEGA Side Imaging+ (with optional transducer): Scans out to 200 feet on each side of the hull with 20% more detail and 60% greater range capability compared to standard MEGA Side Imaging sonar.

MEGA Down Imaging+ (with optional transducer): Delivers underwater clarity down to 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 enhanced onboard basemap covers more than 10,000 lakes plus coastal areas for the continental U.S., displaying buoys, day markers, hazards, marinas, contour lines, and depth markers. LakeMaster and CoastMaster mapping cards with North American standard data are included.

Premium Chart Compatibility: Supports optional Humminbird LakeMaster, CoastMaster, and compatible Navionics charts in addition to the included mapping cards.

Networking: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet connectivity integrate the XPLORE 9 with the One-Boat Network family of Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon products.
