Hey guys:

Can someone tell me what the difference is between these two options? 730n is $500.00 more, but the 430n does include a Garmin GPS. Why would one choose the 730n over the 430n when it appears the only difference is the type of GPS?

It looks like everything else is the same, so instead of calling a dealer who probably won't know the answer, figured I'd ask here.

Thanx guys...

I just happen to be looking at upgrading and have been looking around trying to make sense of all the different mygig's! Here are the difference's I discovered on this site:

430N:
AM/FM/CD/DVD/MP3/HDD/NAV
Garmin navigation interface
Lane guidance feature guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit,
making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate
6.5" touch screen
SIRIUS Satellite Radio®
Satellite Radio replay buffer (last 30 minutes)
30GB hard drive (approx. 6,700 song capacity)
Audio jack for playing music through speakers
Album artwork
USB copy/read

Uconnect Voice Command (available)
- Hands-free Phone
- Remote USB port for iPod® connectivity (center console)
- Bluetooth streaming audio
- Hands-free SMS text messaging
- Allows control of music on iPod devices or memory sticks via voice command,
including song selection by ARTIST, SONG, and GENRE.
- Includes support for songs loaded onto USB memory sticks

730N:
Premium navigation radio with built-in Uconnect Voice Command and Enhanced GPS
6.5-inch Touch Screen
Single CD/DVD/MP3
Audio Jack
30 GB Hard Drive
Album Artwork
USB Copy only
SIRIUS Satellite Radio®
Harmon GPS Navigation
Uconnect Voice Command of phone , radio & music
iPod Control
Dead Reckoning
Split-screen capability
Voice Command of Navigation
Includes iPod® Control cable, which charges iPod compatible devices and allows remote control of music via radio or steering wheel controls

So in a nutshell looking over these two apparently the 730N also includes uconnect/voice command and full iPod integration and it seems the 430N has two versions like the 430 one with sat. radio and one without. Hope that helps!
