Hi Ellicat, The only comfort I get right now, that I am not alone. I bought my Lowrance Reveal 5 in April 2021 for our boat we just finished restoring. I told the lady at Whitworth that I wanted a fishfinder with GPS, assuming GPS means that you want maps/charts. Well, we took the boat out the first time onto Moreton bay on Wednesday and I spent most of the hours there trying to get the mapping working. Just found out from WW that the 'x' model I purchased doesn't come with charts nor am I able to load any on. Man, I couldn't got pissed as a fart on that much money, and had something to show for..a headache. So disappointed. The guy told me, I quote, " but you have an awesome fish finder". funny guy, not. I hope this article helps steering others away from the X units. There really should be more information on this fact when you serve 'dumb' bastards like me. Pissed off.
