I'm fixing to be selling a humming bird 587 maybe. If interested email me silveradositn@aol.com.
If you fish any lake you do not know well or if you want to fish away from the bank (offshore drops) you have to have GPS with a good mapping system. I would certainly buy the most you can afford. I have both HB & Lowrance units and they are both quality units. GPS at night is a must on some bodies of water. Look for a 5" screen unit with GPS and with an internal antenna so you don't have the expense and installation of the external puck. That's my opinion which is like noses, everybody's got one.
The Humminbird 597ci HD is a Dual Beam 2D with GPS Mapping Unit with Industry Leading 640 by 640 Pixel Display and in your price range...$569.99

I have found HDS7 for 750.00 before. Save a tad and start looking now for deals. Some folks dont do Ebay but I like it and used it for years. I also seen some LCX27's go here for 4 or 450 lately. I use that and its an amazing unit plus teaches you how to read it. Which is another chapter. One more thing. This sport. Its never enough!!!$$$$
