Simrad NSX 3012 12 Combo Chartplotter & Fishfinder w/Active Imaging 3-in-1 Transducer

A 12-inch touchscreen is useful when you need charts, sonar, and system data visible at the same time from a standing helm. The Simrad NSX 3012 combines a SolarMAX IPS display with C-MAP Discover X North America charts, the NEON operating system, and an included Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer for CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan. It also provides Ethernet, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth for a connected installation.

Key Features

- 12-inch SolarMAX IPS touchscreen – Provides a large, bright viewing area for offshore chart and sonar work.
- 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution – Gives the large display enough detail for charts, menus, and split-screen information.
- Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer included – Supplies CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan sonar from one included transducer package.
- NEON Android-based operating system – Defines the software platform used to operate the NSX multifunction display.
- 10/100 Ethernet, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth – Provides several connection methods for networked marine electronics and wireless accessories.

Who Is This For?

The NSX 3012 is suited to offshore fishing boats, larger center consoles, coastal cruisers, and vessels with enough helm space for a 12-inch MFD. The included 3-in-1 transducer makes it more complete than transducer-free display packages.

It is not ideal for a small boat with a tight console, and it is unnecessary if you only need a basic 5- or 7-inch chartplotter. The larger screen also requires more dash space than the NSX 3007.

Compatibility

Confirmed components include the Simrad Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer, C-MAP Discover X North America charts, Ethernet, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The supplied information does not identify NMEA 0183, autopilot, radar, or third-party transducer compatibility.

The NSX 3012 is the stronger choice over the 7-inch NSX 3007 when the helm has room for a full 12-inch display and you regularly use split-screen chart and sonar views. Both include an Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer, but the 3012 gives you a larger 1280 x 800 workspace and more comfortable viewing from a standing position. The trade-off is physical size, so it belongs on a larger console rather than a compact skiff.
