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. (Contiguous 48 states only).

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.
