A Garmin SiriusXM satellite weather receiver and antenna 

receives satellite weather data and shows it on various Garmin 

devices, including the Navigation chart on a compatible 

chartplotter. The weather data for each feature comes from 

reputable weather data centers such as the National Weather 

Service and the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center. For 

more information, go to 

.

To use satellite weather, you must have a compatible satellite 

weather receiver. To use SiriusXM satellite radio, you must 

have a compatible satellite radio receiver. Go to 

 for more information. You must also have a 

valid subscription to receive satellite weather and radio. For 

more information, refer to the instructions for your satellite 

weather and radio equipment.

Weather data is broadcast at different intervals for each weather 

feature. For example, radar is broadcast at five-minute intervals. 

When the Garmin receiver is turned on, or when a different 

weather feature is selected, the receiver must receive new data 

before it can be shown. You might experience a delay before 

weather data or a different feature appears on the chart.
NOTE: Any weather feature can change in appearance if the 

source that provides the information changes.
