map chip for old X-15 lowrance

I recently bought a 99 Champion that has a Lowrance X-15 with GPS without any lake map chips in it, tried the one from the Elite 7 I installed on the bow but it didn't seem to work. Does anybody have one they would like to sell or can they still be bought new? Thanks

You will need to find a map card from that time. The size of SD cards has grown and the old units were designed to read cards the normal size of that era.

My guess is the cards of the day then were 512 MB and the cards of today are 2 gig. The old units can't read a card that big.
