To use XM WX Satellite Weather, you must have a Garmin GDL 30 or 30A XM receiver and an 

activated XM WX weather subscription. To use XM Audio, you must have the Garmin GDL 30A 

XM receiver and an XM Audio subscription.

The GDL 30/30A receives XM WX Weather data and shows it on your unit’s Navigation chart and 

other screens throughout the unit. The weather data for each feature comes from reputable weather 

data centers such as the National Weather Service and the Hydrometerological Prediction Center. 

(See the XM WX Satellite Weather Web site at

 http://weather.xmradio.com/weather 

for more 

information.) Any weather feature can change in appearance or interpretation if the source that 

provides the information changes.
XM WX Weather data is broadcast at set rates. For example, NEXRAD (NEXt Generation Weather 

RADar) data is broadcast at five minute intervals. When the Garmin unit is turned on or when a 

new feature is selected, the GDL 30/30A 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 map.
