Simrad NSX™ 3012 12" Combo Chartplotter & Fishfinder w/Active Imaging™ 3-in-1 Transducer — Product description
Discover the Power of Seamless Navigation and Fishfinding
Imagine heading out on the water with confidence, knowing every twist in the river, every hidden structure below, and every school of fish waiting to be found. The Simrad NSX 3012 transforms your boating experience by blending cutting-edge chartplotting with advanced fishfinding in one stunning 12-inch display. This combo unit isn't just gear—it's your edge on the water, delivering crystal-clear sonar images and effortless route planning that keeps you focused on the thrill of the catch.
Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or trolling deep offshore, the included Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer paints a vivid picture of the underwater world. Pair that with intuitive controls and high-res charts, and you'll wonder how you ever navigated without it. Boaters rave about how it simplifies complex setups, letting novices feel like pros and veterans push their limits further.
Crystal-Clear Display That Performs in Any Conditions
The SolarMAX IPS touchscreen shines with over 1200 nits of brightness, ensuring readability even under the harshest sun or through polarized sunglasses. Wide viewing angles mean everyone on deck gets the full view without crowding around. Customize your screens with drag-and-drop ease—stack sonar overlays, charts, and instruments exactly how you like them. Day and night modes adapt seamlessly, reducing eye strain during long outings.
Real-world tip: Anglers often pair this display with multiple data overlays during tournaments, spotting subtle bottom changes that make all the difference in competitive fishing.
Next-Level Charting with C-MAP Integration
Dive into marine-optimized C-MAP DISCOVER X charts right out of the box, complete with daily updates for the freshest data on depths, hazards, and points of interest. High-resolution bathymetry reveals contours down to one-foot accuracy, while custom depth shading highlights safe passages. Autorouting has never been quicker—plot complex routes in seconds and sync them via the Simrad app for pre-trip planning.
Unlock even more with REVEAL X support: shaded relief views of coastlines and seafloors turn abstract maps into lifelike visuals. Tides, currents, and one-touch info on channels keep you safe and efficient, whether exploring new waters or revisiting favorites.
Superior Sonar for Unmatched Fish Detection
Active Imaging 3-in-1 brings CHIRP sonar, SideScan, and DownScan Imaging together for jaw-dropping clarity. See fish separated from structure with FishReveal, which overlays targets in bold color—no more guessing games. Upgrade to 1kW transducers for deeper scans, ideal for offshore adventures where big game lurks hundreds of feet down.
Fishermen love how it reveals bait balls and wrecks with side-to-side coverage up to 300 feet, helping you position baits precisely. Pro advice: Adjust sensitivity hints during setup to fine-tune for murky water or heavy cover, maximizing your strike rate.
Expand Your System Effortlessly
NSX 3012 grows with you. Ethernet and NMEA 2000 ports link to HALO radars for 360-degree awareness—spot weather cells or birds from afar with pulse compression tech. Integrate Simrad autopilots to hold patterns hands-free while jigging or drifting. Add IP cameras for docking views or AIS for traffic avoidance.
Wireless WiFi and Bluetooth keep you connected, streaming third-party apps or updating firmware dockside. It's built for modularity, turning a solo unit into a full-bridge command center.
Effortless Setup and App-Powered Control
Forget frustrating installs—the Setup Wizard guides you step-by-step, from transducer placement to network config. Sonar prompts explain adjustments in plain English, so you're scanning in minutes. The Simrad Companion App mirrors your display, letting you review trips, plot waypoints ashore, and transfer data wirelessly.
Users highlight the hassle-free updates and consistent interface across devices, making it a favorite for multi-boat owners or guides managing fleets.
