I bought the WX Works product (uses XM Radio sats to send real time weather)
and an Nav Aero PC w/ a 8.4" knee pad touch screen. (Using a laptop right
now until I get the Nav Aero). Total outlay $3,000 ($2000 & 900)
The WX Works weather product is great. ( BTW it runs now on the GNS-1000 but
not on the 5/430's.)
I talked to Garmin at AOPA about WX Works on the 530's and they would not
commit to WHEN they would, only that ARE going to do it.
I too do not like the current weather product from Garmin at $5,000 and
$50/month, much button twisting, etc. and 10-20 min. lag time.
