XM WX Satellite Weather and XM Satellite Radio

To use XM WX Satellite Weather on your chartplotter, you must connect a compatible Garmin XM antenna 

and activate an XM WX weather subscription. To use XM Radio, you must connect a compatible Garmin XM 

antenna and activate an XM WX Radio subscription.

A Garmin XM satellite weather receiver and antenna receives XM WX Satellite Weather data and shows it 

on the chartplotter. The weather data for each feature comes from reputable weather data centers such as the 

National Weather Service and the Hydrometerological Prediction Center. For more information, see the XM 

WX Satellite Weather Web site at

.

Satellite Weather data is broadcast at set intervals. For example, XM weather radar data is broadcast at five-

minute intervals. When the Garmin receiver is turned on, or when a new feature is selected, the receiver has to 

receive new data before it can be shown. You might experience a delay before weather data or a new feature 

appears on the chart.
Note: Any weather feature can change in appearance or interpretation if the source that provides the 

information changes.

The precipitation screen shows NEXRAD radar, storm cells, lighting strikes, and hurricane warnings. 

Precipitation is indicated ranging from very light rain and snow, up to strong thunderstorms, in varying shades 

and colors. The time stamp in the upper-left corner of the screen indicates the elapsed time since the weather 

data provider last updated the information. Precipitation is shown either independently or with a variety of 

other weather information.

From the Home screen, select Weather > Precipitation.

You can view precipitation information as an image of the latest update or as an animated loop of the latest 

updates.

From the Home screen, select Weather > Precipitation > Menu > NeXRAD Loop > on.

From the Home screen, select Weather > Precipitation  > Menu > Cloud Cover > Show.
