    was it the cards that didn’t have many maps or the unit can hold so many.. heard it may not take the newest cards. Is it a big deal>

    I was going to upgrade to color…Nahh….My x-15 works like a charm! It’s been a great unit, zero problems, it takes detailed maps of all the lakes I fish and if you have the grey scale set correctly, bottom/arc seperation is evident!!

    I might be the odd man out here.

    My neighbor has the 15 and it is a good unit…but side by side it’s easier to see fish with a color unit.

    Even with a flat bottom and a fish is holding tight… the color changes and it’s easy to spot.

    My recommendation is a good color unit as there is an advantage. If the 15 is what your pocket book says…it’s a great unit.
