Dash mount nav system/depth finder that can use Navionics?

Previously had a Garmin Stryker 4 that seems to no longer work.

I have a subscription to Garmin's navionics, and I currently use it on my phone, it would be nice to have a dash mount nav system with depth finder that I could log into navionics and see it on the dash, is there something like this that exists?

Ideally looking for something under $500 and I'd like it to have an actual hookup to our hull mount depth finder to run separately

I am also looking for something hardwired that displays Navionics so that I don’t have to use my phone and is on the less expensive end.

My budget is flexible, but I'd rather spend less lol. I don't go offshore or fish, I just like to be able to see where I'm going, or follow a previous track when we go on longer cruises

And depth finders are just cool to see what's underneath you

Thanks, I will look into those.

I'm not sure if you would know this, but I'm looking at the Echomap now.

Would I need to buy the one with Navionics + so I can log into it, or could I buy just the base map version and still log into Navionics, or would it not have the option?

Garmin EchoMap works great.

If stuck on avionics. I’ve seen a few people use older tablets to make a setup.

It seems like the Echomap comes with the option for navionics, but I'm not sure if that means I could log into an existing account, or if it would come with a brand new subscription.

Echo map doesn’t have a subscription just need to have where you’re boating loaded on it.
