The West Marine catalog has info on the features and what to look for. The
manufacturers web sites list the specifications.
After an hour or so of review, you should have an idea of how much money
you're willing to spend and what you want.
Within each price range, they're all pretty much the same.
Like cars, a lot of people favor the first brand they had experience with.
Garmin was always more user friendly, but I think many will tell you that
Magellan's have caught up.

Can anyone point me to some good sources for reviews of marine
electronics, specifically GPS plotters, fish/depth finders, and radar? I
will be equipping a 28' sportsfishing boat and want to gather some info in
this area before listening to the dealer's pitches. Thanks
