That's a loaded question brandonss. What's your budget? What are your expectations? Do you want/need GPS? Imaging? B&W or color?

The interpretation deal takes the effort by you to take the time to learn it.

 

If you have no knowlege about marine electronics, you would benefit from sources that explain what and how they do what they do.

This is one thread that will get you started:

After you do that you will have some idea of what to expect and what equipment would give that to you.

Most brands have equivelent models in about the same price range.

Humminbird and Lowrance are the big 2 when it comes to bass fishing. You can get a pretty decent graph for $500. I'm experienced with HB products. The 587ci HD Combo is in your price range. Color, GPS, Down Imaging and 2d sonar. You can jump up to the 700 series units which have a slightly larger screen but you will lose features at that price point. IMO the HB units are more user friendly than Lowrance.
