Humminbird XPLORE 12 CMSI+

Overview

Who This Is For: Serious freshwater and coastal anglers who want a complete fishing and navigation system in one powerful unit. Built for anglers running larger boats who need trophy-grade sonar imaging, detailed mapping, and the flexibility to expand with networked accessories like Minn Kota trolling motors and shallow water anchors.

Product Summary: The XPLORE 12 CMSI+ is a full-featured 12-inch chartplotter and fish finder that combines high-definition sonar imaging with precision GPS chartplotting. You get MEGA Side Imaging and Down Imaging that see 200 feet out and down, Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar for crystal-clear fish arches and structure detail, and included LakeMaster and CoastMaster mapping for 13 U.S. and Canadian regions. It's built to grow with your boat—network it with Minn Kota motors, shallow water anchors, and radar through Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and Bluetooth for a professional-grade integrated system.

Key Features

• MEGA Side Imaging+ — produces crystal-clear side-view sonar images up to 250 feet on either side of your boat with 20% more detail and 60% more range than standard MEGA imaging — you'll see fish suspended around structure, vegetation, and drop-offs that other anglers miss entirely.
• MEGA Down Imaging+ — generates photographic-quality images directly below your boat down to 200 feet with unprecedented clarity and target separation — the difference between spotting a brush pile and seeing a school of suspended fish at a glance becomes obvious.
• Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar — delivers highly-detailed fish arches and structure definition in two modes: Wide Mode for maximum coverage across the bottom and Narrow Mode for zooming in on subtle details — you'll separate individual fish from baitballs and know exactly what structure is holding them.
• 12-Inch Full-HD Display — shows sonar and chart detail so crisp you won't miss anything; switch between touchscreen control and keypad operation depending on water conditions and your preference.
• AutoChart Live Real-Time Mapping — lets you build custom contour maps, bottom hardness data, and vegetation marks as you run your boat with 8 hours of built-in recording time — your personal high-definition lake map grows with every trip.
• LakeMaster and CoastMaster Map Cards Included — provides detailed contours, depth markers, vegetation, and hazard information across 10,000+ lakes plus continental U.S. coastal coverage straight out of the box — no purchasing additional maps to get started.
• One-Boat Network Integration — connects seamlessly with Minn Kota trolling motors, Talon and Raptor shallow water anchors, and Cannon downriggers through Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and Bluetooth — control everything from the screen and build a truly unified fishing system.
• Internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap — provides position accuracy, waypoint storage for 10,000 spots, and clear navigation with buoys, day markers, and marina locations — fish and navigate with confidence in any condition.
