Old Lowrance datacards

[Nos4r2]

Does anyone know where I can get a datacard with maps for an old B/W Lowrance GPS/fishfinder unit like the one in the pic below?
I think this is the model I've just got, but not sure and can't check as it's not here. However, it's definitely the same card slot.

In fact, any info would be appreciated. The unit currently doesn't even have a base world map and I know nothing about it apart from how to switch it on.

I used to have one of those. I've got the card reader for it somewhere, it's a beast of a thing that plugs into a parallel port which I doubt you'll have now. I can dig it out if you're interested. They used navionics mmc cards, I'm sure that Navionics will still supply them but I don't know at what cost. Give Lance a ring at the Navionics office in Plymouth (I think), he's always been helpful.

PS I might have a suncover for it in the shed as well

Yes please Dave.It'd be very much appreciated! I haven't got a parallel port, but I can get an adapter from Amazon for a couple of quid.

Any idea what the MMC card looks like? A google image search doesn't tell me much...

They look like sd cards & fit the same slot. I think they're interchangeable . I might have one in the back of a drawer, I'll have a look

Ah, definitely not the same card then. This slot is huge.

Are you sure? The drawer on the front slides out & there's a carrier inside that takes 2 mmc/sd cards, it is big but I'm 99% that it's the same one I had. I think it's a lcm series

You could be right, but there's no carrier inside this one and no evidence it's ever had one. The drawer on the front isn't a drawer, it's a removable cover.

I could be wrong then. Quick mark it on the calender
I think it's one of these Global map 4900
