Handheld GPS w/XM Weather?

[Radu Tenenbaum]

When will we see a handheld GPS w/XM Weather capability? I'd buy one!

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, I've seen at least two:
AnywhereWX and Airgator.

The former used to use a satellite-phone-based weather solution, but have
recently "upgraded".

What I don't know is whether the "pixel" size in the AnywhereWX changed. It
used to be that the "pixels" in Airgator were smaller (which is good), but
that may have changed now that AnywhereWX is getting XM-based weather.

Anyone happen to know?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant a single integrated solution, like a Garmin
295 with built in XM receiver and the associated software. I'm familiar
with the Anywhere soloution running on a PDA, but that requires multiple
modules and interconnections.

Lowrance hinted at this capability on the Airmap 2000c, but has since backed
off. Seems like they still may get to it, eventually.
