If your budget for a new fish finder is 500 bucks, then you are in the sweet spot for buying a small-screened, but full-featured fishfinder GPS combo.
Full featured means it has combinations of GPS, memory card slots for mapping and saving screenshots, dual beam sonar, and at least one type of imaging sonar.
This year’s best fish finder GPS combo under $500 will have screens in the 5″-7″ range, but they are packed with more electronic wizardry than ever. Thanks to the strong competition in the sonar wars, GPS lake mapping, down imaging, and even side imaging have been pushed down into the 500 dollar units.
There is much to cover to help you choose the right depth finder, so let’s start with the comparisons.
