Garmin GPSMap 530/ 530s

Discontinued and replaced with the Garmin GPSMAP 531/531s.

With an easier-to-use interface and sleek new design, GPSMap 530 series pack more value for your navigation dollar. They feature bright 5" QVGA color displays, preloaded U.S. inland lakes data, worldwide satellite imagery and a streamlined user interface. The 530-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).

Like all Garmin plotters, these utilize WAAS/EGNOS-enabled GPS receivers for high accuracy (typically 3 metres). The combo "s" models add a 500-watt (RMS) built-in sonar with split-screen capability, to view map and sounder data simultaneously.
The built-in sounder on the 530s combo model can scan as deep as 900 feet (with included dual beam transducer) to clearly paint depth contours, fish targets, structure, etc.

The combo 530s also offers split-screen capability, so you can view map and sounder data simultaneously. See real-time weather displayed on the 530-series' high-resolution, sunlight readable display with the purchase of the GXM 31 antenna (sold separately) and subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather. View vital weather data such as NEXRAD radar, storm cells, wind speeds, surface temperatures, forecasts and more than a dozen other weather attributes directly on the unit's chart - so you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time worrying about the weather.
