Using XM WX Weather and Audio

In order to use XM weather and audio, you must have a Garmin 

XM WX receiver, such as a GXM 31 or GXM 51, and an 

activated XM subscription. Visit 

 

for more information. To connect the XM antenna and receiver 

and for subscription instructions, refer to the manual for your XM 

equipment.
If you do not have a receiver and a subscription to XM WX Satellite 

Weather, the weather features described in this section work only 

when the chartplotter is in Simulator mode. Simulator mode does 

not provide live weather data.

The Garmin XM receiver and antenna receives XM WX weather 

data and shows it on your chartplotter’s Navigation chart and other 

screens throughout 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. (See the XM WX Satellite Weather Web site at

  

http://xmwxweather.com 

for more information.) 

NoTE: 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 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 map.

  From the Navigation chart, Fishing chart, or Split Navigation 

chart, press 

 > 

 > 

 > 

.

  Select weather parameters (NEXRAD, cloud cover, visibility, WX 

buoys, and the weather legend) to turn them on or off.
