Default The Garmin 496...a teenager's review

Yep, me too. Lowrance -- the world leader in nautical GPS -- has been
"promising" weather for over two years -- and STILL nothing. It must
be a lot harder than we think it is...


It is a priority thing with Lowrance. They were purchased by a company that
is completely marine based. The new parent company had Lowrance pull
resources from developing XM for aviation so those resources could fill in
some percieved holes in the marine product line.


Okay, I'll buy that -- but isn't downloadable, "live" XM weather
something that boaters want, too?

It would seem like a great thing for the marine crowd?
