Simrad NSS4-12 12" Combo w/U.S. C-MAP Product Description
Transform Your Boating with Unmatched Precision and Speed
Imagine gliding across open waters, spotting fish arches crystal clear on your screen, and plotting the perfect course back to port—all without missing a beat. The Simrad NSS4-12 delivers that seamless experience for serious anglers and cruisers alike. Its redesigned hybrid interface blends intuitive touchscreen swipes with precise rotary dials and keypads, ensuring you stay in command even in rough seas or gloved hands. Powered by a blazing Qualcomm 8-core processor, this 12-inch powerhouse handles multitasking like a pro, from radar overlays to real-time sonar updates, keeping your focus on the adventure ahead.
Sleek Design Meets Lightning-Fast Performance
The glass-to-edge display isn't just eye candy—it's engineered for real-world reliability. With over 1200 nits of brightness, it cuts through blinding sunlight and plays nice with polarized lenses, so you never squint at critical data. Wide 80-degree viewing angles mean everyone on deck gets the full picture, whether you're running a center console or a sportfisher.
Under the hood, that 8-core processor crushes laggy transitions. Switch from charts to sonar splitscreens in a blink, or let auto-routing crunch complex routes instantly. Boaters upgrading from older evo3 models rave about the snappier UI—it's like giving your helm a turbo boost.
Revolutionary Sonar for Serious Anglers
Dive deeper into fishfinding with built-in dual-channel 1kW CHIRP sonar. This setup excels at separating targets in cluttered water, revealing bait balls and bottom structure with surgical clarity. Pair it with Active Imaging HD transducers, and you'll see hyper-detailed sidescan and downscan images—fish hugging wrecks pop like never before.
Customization shines here: tweak frequency bands (low for deep water, high for shallow finesse), adjust sensitivity on the fly, and overlay sonar history to track migrations. Offshore trollers and inshore jigging pros find it indispensable for dialing in hot spots without guesswork.
Tailor It to Your Style: Versatile Boat Setups
From bay boats chasing reds to 40-foot battlewagons hunting pelagics, the NSS4-12 adapts. Create custom pages with engine gauges, fuel flow, or video feeds. Split the 1280x800 canvas into quads for sonar, charts, radar, and instruments—perfect for multi-function helms.
Install tips from the field: Mount flush or bracket for bail mounting; pair with Airmar TM185 transducers for medium/high CHIRP excellence. Rugged IPX7 waterproofing and -15°C to 55°C temps handle salt spray and freezes, backed by vibration-tested durability.
