You have to look carefully, some units come with the map chip which is a huge cost savings, some don't.

For example, I like Lowrance, and you can get the Lowrance Hook-4 ($329) includes a map chip but if you move up to the 5 inch screen ($399), no map chip unless you spend another $170.

I have the 4 inch screen model and while it would be nice to have a bigger screen, not sure it's worth $170. Maybe in a few years I'll upgrade and I'll already have the chip.
