Does the control head work without a transducer?

It needs a sonar source. It connects to Minn Kota Built-in MEGA Imaging, MEGA 360, an accessory transducer, or sonar shared over an existing Humminbird Ethernet network.

What does MEGA Live 2 add over the control head alone?

MEGA Live 2 is live sonar that shows fish and structure moving in Forward, Down and Landscape views. The control head alone has no transducer in the box.

Can I network it with my Minn Kota trolling motor?

Yes. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NMEA 2000 and Ethernet support the One-Boat Network with Humminbird, Minn Kota and Cannon products.

What maps come with it?

Internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap covers more than 10,000 lakes plus coastal US waters, and LakeMaster and CoastMaster cards with 13 US and Canada regions are included.

The control head, power adapter, unit cover and mounting bracket, plus the MEGA Live 2 transducer. No separate transducer for the head is included.

Is it compatible with APEX and SOLIX units?
