Overview
Built for anglers who want a compact, feature-rich control head at the helm, this 7-inch unit brings together live sonar readiness, Active Imaging support, and preloaded C-MAP Contour+ charts in one touchscreen interface. It is suited to boaters who rely on mapping, network connectivity, and integrated control options to manage time on the water more efficiently. Because this is the control head only, a transducer is not included, so it fits best for users already planning a compatible sonar setup. The package also includes the bracket, suncover, and power cable needed to get the unit mounted and powered.
