RACINE, Wis. (Dec. 11, 2024) – Humminbird, an industry leader in innovative marine electronics, unveils the XPLORETM Series fish finder, seamlessly combining cutting-edge technology with an intuitive touch-screen design and updated user experience. Engineered to help anglers spend less time navigating their device and more time focusing on the fish, XPLORE ensures that every moment on the water counts — because with Humminbird, there is always more to XPLORE.
With its easy-to-use interface, XPLORE eliminates the complexity of traditional fish finders. Featuring intuitive shortcut buttons, anglers can quickly access key features like navigation, Spot-Lock, and advanced mapping tools with just a click. Its fast startup, reset, and update capabilities, powered by a quad-core processor, ensure that it adapts to changing conditions with minimal delay — meaning more time casting.
Integration with the One-Boat NetworkTM (OBN) means anglers can easily sync with Minn Kota trolling motors and anchors, offering smooth control from the console, remote app, or foot pedal. The design ensures effortless handling, whether navigating the boat or accessing features like follow, dodge, and drift modes. Updates are simple with XPLORE, with software pushed automatically through the OBN app,
ensuring anglers always have the latest tools at their fingertips. The customizable OBN side buttons allow presets to the features anglers rely on most.

SmartStrikeTM technology enhances the experience by delivering live predictions of where fish are most likely to bite based on real-time conditions.
The streamlined waypoint management system allows anglers to sync up to 10,000 waypoints between devices, with customizable icons and color-coding for easy organization and quick access.
