    XPLORE 12 Control Head Only

    THE XPLORE 12 CHO features a 12” ultra-clear display with intuitive Cross Touch™, MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar, and internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap. Unique to the XPLORE Series is the inclusion of Humminbird LakeMaster and CoastMaster map cards with 13 regions in the United States and Canada. This model includes Wi-Fi, NMEA 2000®, Bluetooth, and Ethernet networking for compatibility with the One-Boat Network™ family of Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Cannon products. This CHO (Control Head Only) model is a great option for anglers looking to select their transducer with MEGA Live Imaging or Built-in MEGA Imaging trolling motor from Minn Kota®.

    Features:

    Control Head Only Model: 

    • This model does not include a transducer. This CHO model is a great choice for those looking to connect to Built-in MEGA Imaging on Minn Kota trolling motors, accessory transducer options like MEGA 360 Imaging, or share sonar data from an existing Humminbird Ethernet network control. Easily access the preloaded views from the user-friendly menu system, operated by a touch screen or directional keypad, to operate your fish finder in any conditions reliably.

    Full-HD Display with Cross Touch® interface: 

    • XPLORE delivers eye-popping detail with a 1280H x 800V display. See the incredible detail of sonar and chart images that will ensure you never miss a thing. Control it all using the touchscreen or the keypad—it's up to you.

    Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar: (with optional transducer)

    • Before you cast, know what's down there thanks to highly-detailed fish arches and a clear view of the fish-holding structure and the bottom. Powered by our proprietary, Low-Q CHIRP transducer, Dual Spectrum offers two ways to search; Wide Mode for maximum coverage and Narrow Mode for focusing on the slightest detail.

    MEGA Side Imaging+: (with optional transducer)

    • See the world below like never before with crystal-clear Side Imaging viewing out to 200 feet on either side of your boat. You'll unlock more fish and structure with 20% more detail and 60% more range capability than MEGA Side Imaging sonar.

    MEGA Down Imaging+: (with optional transducer)

    • Get unprecedented underwater clarity with Down Imaging coverage down to 200 feet below your boat. You'll unlock more fish and structure with 20% more detail and 60% more depth capability than MEGA Down Imaging sonar.

    Industry-leading Humminbird Sonar: 

    • Equipped with MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar to keep you on the fish. MEGA Imaging+ provides views up to 250' under and out to either side of your boat and Dual Spectrum CHIRP shows exceptional 2D sonar with superior target separation and fish clarity.

    Internal GPS and Humminbird Basemap: 

    • Our enhanced basemap provides you with a clear view of underwater terrain and surrounding points of interest so you can fish and navigate with total confidence. Identify buoys, day markers, hazards, marinas, contours, depth markers, and much, much more. Includes charts of more than 10,000 lakes, plus coastal coverage for the continental U.S.

    Premium Chart Compatible: 

    • Humminbird provides the most complete offering of premium chart options to anglers everywhere. Get a complete view of the world below with optional charts from Humminbird's LakeMaster® and CoastMaster™ products, as well as your choice of compatible Navionics® charts. Includes LakeMaster and CoastMaster mapping cards with North American standard data.

    AutoChart Live: 

    • Create real-time maps of your fishing spots, with access to patented Humminbird® LakeMaster® features. Map depth contours, bottom hardness, and vegetation as you drive your boat. Comes standard with eight (8) hours of built-in recording time and is compatible with AutoChart Zero Line SD cards for virtually endless AutoChart Live mapping capacity.

    One-Boat Network Compatible: 

    • Many Humminbird models seamlessly integrate and communicate with Minn Kota and Cannon products to unlock more features and capabilities for anglers everywhere. Make more of your time on the water with the exclusive boat control and fish-catching features of the One-Boat Network.

    Ethernet Networking: 

    • High-speed Ethernet allows you to build a powerful, professional-grade fishing system. Easily connect multiple fish finders, or upgrade to add-on technologies like Minn Kota i-Pilot Link and Humminbird CHIRP Radar.

    Bluetooth: 

    • Take control right from the screen of your Humminbird with wireless communication to compatible Talon and Raptor shallow water anchors, as well as Cannon Optimum downriggers. Additional features include wireless software updates from the Humminbird One-Boat App and a display of smartphone notifications on your Humminbird.

    NMEA 2000 Networking Built-in: 

    • Connect an accessory NMEA 2000 network to your control head for even more information; from boat performance to weather and water conditions, make sense of it all with NMEA 2000 networking.
