I just ordered a Lowrance Elite 4x from Academy (for $169, which seemed like a great deal). Will I need to purchase a map card or will the map that comes with the unite suffice? Thanks

I might be wrong but The "x" means your ff does not have GPS chip. So I would assume the map would be useless in your ff.

$169 sounds too good to be true. Make sure it is the combo unit. The DSI 4x with chartplotter is $350 and the non DSI with chartplotter list for $300. Lowerance base maps are non-contoured and don't show depth. You'll have to upgrade the chip then go online and update the maps.

I just bought the same; this is fish a finder only and not a combo. It is however a good deal at $169 being a color unit.

Jonah 4:2 I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning calamity.

Lowerance base maps are non-contoured and don't show depth. You'll have to upgrade the chip then go online and update the maps. Todd, I recently bought a Lowrance Mark 4 DSI (B/W version of the Elite 4) and was surprised at the quality of the included map package. For most area lakes it shows depths and 5 foot contour lines.
This might be the weirdest, most pointless post ever. I am not against golf, since I cannot but suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering fishing
