Do you mean equipment like MFDs, sonar,radar or do you mean "how do things work?"
West Marine website has an advice/how to section. Look at the electronics section. They have good rundowns of "How to select a xxxxx" and how they work.
here's an example

YouTube videos can be your friend. Someone somewhere has probably made a video of your unit and it's operations. Might give it a look.
Most of the major equipment vendors have videos on their sites. Lowrance does hour long webinars every now and then and has them available for replay on their site. Some are basic and others are more specific.
Many of the MFDs out there have similar functionality but the vendors may call it by different names.
In general the more that a similar sized MFD costs, the more function/processing power it has. The biggest factor in pricing is screen size and resolution.
Search you tube and the like, there is a ton of info.

Take a look at those Lowrance videos where they compare their units to other unbranded MFDs....helps you learn about all of the features and how others perform.

Start going through the Marine Electronic Forum at THT. Weed through the crap but a wealth of knowlege over there if you spend the time.
Furuno just did a series of videos that best describes the differences in each of the latest and greatest models from 4 major brands. I believe there's 6 videos out now and are an easy series to watch. Granted they are a bit furuno biased, but it gives you a good idea of each brand. Just Google it on YouTube and it should come up.
Thanks I thought it was Lowrance and couldn’t find it when I tried yesterday...
