The Garmin GNS 430W (WAAS) GPS has become known as the "one box". Because while many avionics components offer some of the capabilities of the GNS 430W, it's the integration of so many different capabilities into a single unit that makes the GNS 430W unique. It's a COM/NAV/GPS with brilliant colour map graphics all rolled into one. The GNS 430W continues in the Garmin tradition of easy operating software. Logic prevails to make sense of massive amounts of pilot specific data. And to access this information you merely need to master two concentric knobs and a series of function buttons. All backlit. All right where you'd want them. The most striking thing about the GNS 430W is how easy it is to read and interpret. At the heart of the on screen data is a user cofigurable colour map. Of course you can monitor your flight plan using navigation chart graphics. But you can also enjoy the greatest in situational awareness with a highly detailed cartography database that shows airports, cities, political boundaries, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes and coastlines. The WAAS capable GNS 430 is a box like no other. A single unit whose capabilities are far greater than the sum of its competitor's part.
