Lowrance to introduce XM weather at SNF '06?

[Jay Honeck]

Over on the Cherokee Pilots Association "Cherokee Chat", a guy has posted
(at my inquiry) that Lowrance *is* still planning to introduce satellite
weather to work with their excellent 2000c aviation GPS.

This is the second "verification" (from an anonymous source who supposedly
"knows" someone -- ha!) I've seen -- so let's hope the information is
accurate.

As a combo with the 2000c's big color screen, XM weather would be awesome!

Did you hear that Lowrance got bought out? They will continue to exist
as Lowrance, I believe, but some company bought them.

Bought by Norway's Simrad Yachting AS:

And Garmin denied making a bid, though presumably they made an offer to buy
Lowrance last year:
