[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 494213, member: 21536"] If you are new to them, it is hard to fully understand the different features and terminology. For me it was like I was reading a foreign language. Airshot's advice is sound. Doing some online research before talking to the guys at the big sports stores will make the visit a lot more productive. If all you want and need is sonar and gps charts, then your cost will be significantly less. The big brands for our style boats are Lowrance, Garmin and Humminbird. I'm sure everyone has a preference. I wouldn't avoid any of those brands. Go for at least a 7" screen if budget and space allows. My boat is used 99.9% for fishing. I have a Humminbird Helix 7. It has down imaging that I never use. I would guess I look at the gps/charts as much as the sonar. Of course, they are both on the screen at the same time, so the info is all there all the time.
