Typical Satellite Weather
If installed, later satellite weather features a weather re-
ceiver located in the forward deck rope locker area. It
looks like a hockey puck. The receiver sends satellite
weather information to the chartplotter for display. Along
with the receiver an active subscription is required to re-
ceive satellite weather.
The weather information is received from reputable
weather data centers such as the National Weather Ser-
vice and the Hydrometerological Prediction Center. Since
weather information is broadcast at fi ve second intervals
the weather receiver must obtain new data before it can
be shown. Therefore, there might be a delay before new
weather data appears on the map.
Read and understand the XM weather information locat-
ed in the chartplotter owner’s manual before attempting
to use the weather option.
