I like the bright screen on the Garmin plotter/fish finder that I have on my fishing boat.
The model is 74CV.
I believe the model number contains screen size and inland vs coastal waters so some study may be required to get the right one.
From the comfort of well, anywhere, I can use Navionics to plan a course or set waypoints.
From there I send the data to an app called "Active Captain" which serves as an intermediary between Navionics and the Garmin unit.
Then I take my iPad to my fishing boat, establish a connection with the Garmin unit's own wifi and the data transfers instantly.
It's good to have pre planned routes when transiting the rocky coast of New England!

Just an fyi…you can buy the Navionics Micro SD card and insert it in a compatable fish finder / plotter unit. I use this card in my Lowrance unit and its awesome!
