I just bought the Garmin 496 and I want to sign up for the aviation
weather service. Unfortunately I live in Canada. When I called to
subscribe they said they couldn't sign me up and I should contact XM
Canada. So I called them, and they do not offer this service at all,
although they rep thought they would someday.

I guess what I need to do is to provide a US address in order to
subscribe to XM USA. I suppose I could make one up, or hire a PO Box
somewhere in the US.

If you subscribe to XM Weather, do they actually send stuff to your
address? Is it important?

If you are a Canadian subscriber to XM Weather, how did you do it?
Does your Canadian credit card work, or do you need to use a card
drawn on a US bank?

Not an XM Weather subscriber yet but as an XM radio customer and someone
that plans to buy a 496 soon, I can't think of anything they would mail you.

Got any friends on this side of the border? Use their address.
