The sleek 430-series Garmin plotters pack a lot of value into their space-saving formats. They feature ultra-bright 4″ QVGA displays and come ready to launch right out of the box with built-in cartography, worldwide satellite imagery, and a new streamlined user interface.

The 430-series comes preloaded with coast-to-coast cartography for inland U.S. waters, of which over 5000 of these lakes and navigable waters include invaluable details such as extra resolution, depth contours, boat ramps, mile markers, hazards, marinas, campgrounds, area roads, and more.
The powerful built-in analog sounder found in the 430sx can scan as deep as 900 (in dual beam mode) and features UltraScroll? for high-speed screen updates. The 430sx also offer split-screen viewing of map and sounder data for easy, continuous reference.

The 430sx includes the GXM 31 Smart Antenna. With a subscription to XM Satellite Weather, the 430sx can provide continuously-delivered weather on the units high-resolution sunlight-readable display. Vital weather data, such as NEXRAD radar, forecasts, and current conditions is graphically displayed directly on the chart so you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time worrying about the weather.

This is my first boat, and therefore first Marine GPS. It is awesome, quick install, easy setup. I put it on my new Waverunner. The hardest part of the install had to do with the water tight upper deck, getting the wires thru. The XM antanae seems larger than necesary, the one on my truck is smaller.

Unit has lots of features, fun to play with while not ridding. Sonar performance degrades over about 30 MPH, but I expected this. I am shooting thru the hull. Garmin has the GPS thing down pat. Can’t beat the big O on price.
