Our take on the Humminbird APEX 16 VX MSI+ Chartplotter/Fishfinder without Transducer
The Humminbird APEX 16 VX MSI+ is a 15.6-inch Full-HD touchscreen chartplotter and fishfinder built for serious offshore and tournament anglers. It ships with MEGA Side Imaging+, MEGA Down Imaging+ and Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar, plus LakeMaster and CoastMaster VX maps covering over 13,000 lakes and coastal waters. A dedicated sonar channel supports accessory 2D CHIRP transducers up to 2kW, and One-Boat Network ties it to Minn Kota motors and Cannon downriggers. Owners say the new interface is easier to learn than Solix and side imaging detail is exceptional, but some report GPS and depth dropouts and network crashes with MEGA Live 2.
