Humminbird XPLORE 10 Control Head Only Product Description
Upgrade your boat's electronics with the versatile Humminbird XPLORE 10 control head, designed for serious anglers who want to customize their setup. This control head only model lets you pair it seamlessly with high-performance transducers or built-in imaging from Minn Kota trolling motors, giving you the freedom to build a system tailored to your fishing style. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow lakes or hunting walleye in deeper waters, its advanced sonar views and intuitive controls help you locate fish faster and more precisely.
Crystal-Clear Viewing with Flexible Controls
The standout 10.1-inch Full HD display (1280 x 800 pixels) delivers sharp, vibrant images of underwater structures and fish targets, even in bright sunlight. What sets it apart is the Cross Touch interface—switch effortlessly between touchscreen swipes for quick navigation and the reliable keypad for gloved hands or rough conditions. This dual-control setup means you stay focused on fishing, not fumbling with menus during critical moments.
Powerful Sonar Options for Every Hunt
Without a bundled transducer, this unit shines when connected to optional ones or Minn Kota's integrated MEGA Imaging. Unlock MEGA Side Imaging+ for stunning side-to-side views up to 250 feet, revealing baitfish schools and drop-offs with 20% more detail than standard MEGA SI. MEGA Down Imaging+ peers straight down to 200 feet, piercing through thermoclines to spot suspended crappie or bottom-hugging catfish. Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar adds traditional 2D arches with exceptional separation, letting you toggle between wide coverage for searching and narrow focus for pinpointing individual fish.
Navigate Smarter with Built-In Mapping
Internal GPS pairs with the Humminbird Basemap, covering over 10,000 inland lakes and coastal charts across the continental U.S. Spot hazards, marinas, and contours at a glance. It comes loaded with LakeMaster and CoastMaster cards for 13 key regions in the U.S. and Canada, including high-definition lake data for contour shading and depth highlights. Use AutoChart Live to map your own hotspots in real-time—record bottom hardness, vegetation, and depths as you troll, with eight hours of onboard storage expandable via SD cards. Save up to 10,000 waypoints, 50 routes, and 20,000 track points to revisit proven spots season after season.
Seamless Integration in the One-Boat Network
Build a pro-level system with built-in Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NMEA 2000. Share sonar data across multiple units, control Minn Kota i-Pilot Link for spot-on GPS anchoring, or deploy Talon/Raptor anchors with a screen tap. Bluetooth handles software updates and smartphone alerts, while NMEA pulls in engine data or weather info. Compatible with MEGA 360, MEGA Live, radar, and more, it turns your boat into a connected fishing command center.
