Humminbird XPLORE 12 Control Head Only + MEGA Live 2 (Bundle)

Overview

Who This Is For: Serious anglers and boaters building a custom sonar setup or upgrading an existing network. Whether you're adding live sonar via MEGA Live 2, connecting to a Minn Kota trolling motor with built-in MEGA Imaging, or linking into an Ethernet network of multiple fish finders, this bundle gives you the display, the live sonar transducer, and the processing power to see everything that matters.

Product Summary: This is a two-piece bundle — the Xplore 12 twelve-inch Full-HD control head paired with the MEGA Live 2 Forward-Facing Live Sonar Transducer. No standard transom transducer is included. The Xplore 12 runs Humminbird's full sonar suite — MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+, and Dual Spectrum CHIRP — and ships with LakeMaster and CoastMaster map cards covering 13 regions across the United States and Canada. The MEGA Live 2 mounts to your trolling motor shaft and delivers real-time sonar in forward, down, and landscape modes. Connect to a Minn Kota with built-in MEGA Imaging or add a separate MEGA 360 transducer, and your entire boat becomes a fully integrated fishing platform.

Key Features

• Xplore 12 + MEGA Live 2 Bundle — this package includes both the 12-inch control head and the MEGA Live 2 forward-facing live sonar transducer — no standard transom transducer included.
• MEGA Live 2 Forward-Facing Live Sonar — shaft-mounted to your trolling motor with forward, down, and landscape viewing modes and zero gaps in sonar coverage — see fish and structure in real time, which cuts the learning curve and puts more fish in the boat on structure and suspended fish alike.
• 12-Inch Full-HD Display with Cross Touch Interface — 1280x800 resolution on a large, sunlight-readable screen with touch or keypad control — bigger display means faster decision-making when you're marking fish and adjusting position.
• MEGA Side Imaging+ (with compatible transducer) — crystal-clear sonar out to 250 feet on either side of your boat with 20% more detail and 60% greater range than standard MEGA SI — identify fish, vegetation, and hard bottom at distances standard sonar can't reach.
• MEGA Down Imaging+ (with compatible transducer) — photographic-quality images straight down to 200 feet with 20% more detail and 60% greater depth than standard MEGA DI — see the difference between a brush pile and a school of suspended fish at a glance.
• Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar (with compatible transducer) — Wide Mode covers maximum water column fast, Narrow Mode locks into fine detail — exceptional target separation and fish clarity in both modes.
• Internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap — charts of 10,000+ lakes plus continental U.S. coastal coverage with depth contours, buoys, hazards, and structure — know what's below before you cast.
• LakeMaster and CoastMaster Map Cards Included — 13 U.S. and Canadian regions with 1-foot contours, depth highlights, vegetation, and bottom hardness — no subscription required.
• AutoChart Live — create real-time maps of your fishing spots as you run your boat, recording depth, structure, and hardness — 8 hours of built-in recording, expandable with SD cards.
• One-Boat Network Compatible — integrates with Minn Kota trolling motors, i-Pilot Link autopilot, Talon/Raptor anchors, and Cannon downriggers via Bluetooth and Ethernet — control your entire boat ecosystem from one screen.
• Ethernet Networking — build a multi-unit system or add Humminbird radar and advanced Minn Kota autopilot — scales from a single display to a professional-grade network as your setup grows.
• NMEA 2000 Networking Built-In — connect external sensors for boat performance, weather, and water conditions — more data on one screen, less time looking down at multiple gauges.

Specs & What's Included

Compatibility: The Xplore 12 works with Minn Kota trolling motors with built-in MEGA Imaging, MEGA 360 Imaging transducers, Minn Kota i-Pilot Link autopilot, Talon and Raptor shallow water anchors, Cannon downriggers, Humminbird CHIRP radar, and any NMEA 2000 network sensor.
