Is the NSS evo3S worth it over a smaller chartplotter?

It packs chartplotting, 1 kW CHIRP sonar and wireless mirroring into one 9-inch unit. If you run sonar and charts together on a center console, the combined feature set is the reason to pick it over a basic plotter.

Can I use my own charts instead of the preloaded ones?

Yes. It accepts C-MAP, Navionics, CMOR and Florida Marine Tracks charts alongside the preloaded C-MAP US Enhanced data.

Does it support more than one transducer?

Yes. It has dual transducer ports and 1 kW CHIRP sonar, so you can run multiple transducers.

Can I control it without the touchscreen?

Yes. It has a keypad as well as the touchscreen, so you can operate it in weather when touch is awkward.
