Our take on the Humminbird Xplore 12 Cho Fishfinder

The Humminbird Xplore 12 is a 12-inch full-HD fishfinder and chartplotter head unit with a Cross Touch interface that works by touchscreen or keypad. This is the control-head-only version, so it needs a compatible transducer or a Minn Kota motor with Built-in MEGA Imaging to feed it sonar. It ships with internal GPS, the Humminbird Basemap, and LakeMaster and CoastMaster cards covering 13 regions across the US and Canada. It suits anglers who already own Humminbird or Minn Kota gear and want a large screen with MEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+ plus Dual Spectrum CHIRP.

Pros
  • Large 12-inch 1280x800 full-HD display
  • Cross Touch lets you use touch or physical keys, even with wet or gloved hands
  • MEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+ add range and detail over older MEGA Imaging
  • Dual Spectrum CHIRP with Wide and Narrow modes
  • Internal GPS plus LakeMaster and CoastMaster cards for 13 regions
  • Fits existing Humminbird Ethernet networks and Minn Kota transducers
Cons
  • Control-head-only: no transducer in the box, so sonar needs extra hardware
  • Imaging and CHIRP features depend on buying the right optional transducer
  • Large 12-inch unit needs serious dash or bow space and stable power
  • Full mapping and imaging depth takes time to learn

What reviewers say

Owner feedback on the Xplore line centers on the bright, sharp 12-inch screen and the flexibility of Cross Touch, with imaging quality rated a step up from older MEGA units. The main complaints are the cost of adding a transducer and the learning curve of the menus.

What people mention
  • DisplayPraisedOwners call the 12-inch full-HD screen bright and easy to read in daylight.
  • ControlsPraisedCross Touch is liked because the keypad stays usable when the touchscreen is wet or gloved.
  • ImagingPraisedMEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+ are said to show more range and detail than earlier MEGA units.
  • Transducer costCriticisedBuyers note the head-only package pushes the real cost up once a transducer is added.
  • Learning curveMixedThe menus are deep; some pick them up fast, others find the first trips fiddly.
  • MountingMixedThe big housing fits console boats well but crowds smaller dashes.

Questions and answers

Does the Xplore 12 come with a transducer?
No. This is the control-head-only model. It works with Minn Kota Built-in MEGA Imaging, MEGA 360, or an existing Humminbird Ethernet network, or you add a compatible transducer for Side Imaging+, Down Imaging+ and CHIRP.
What maps are included?
It has internal GPS, the Humminbird Basemap with over 10,000 lakes and continental US coastal coverage, plus LakeMaster and CoastMaster cards covering 13 US and Canada regions.
Can I use it with my Minn Kota trolling motor?
Yes. It is built to read Built-in MEGA Imaging from compatible Minn Kota motors, so you can get sonar without a separate transom transducer.
Is the screen readable in direct sun?
The 12-inch 1280x800 full-HD panel is bright and owners report it stays readable in daylight, helped by the keypad option when glare or water makes touch awkward.
What is in the box?
The control head, a power adapter, a unit cover and a mounting bracket. No transducer and no cables beyond the power adapter.
Is it worth it over a smaller Xplore?
If you fish from a console or bow with room for a 12-inch screen, the bigger display makes side imaging and split screens much easier to read. On a small boat, a smaller Xplore saves space.
Where is the Humminbird Xplore 12 Cho Fishfinder cheapest?
At Walmart, for $2,399.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Humminbird Xplore 12 Cho Fishfinder?
