Default Pirep: Garmin Pilot My-Cast

Thought this might help before you try it.

After much frustration with my AnywhereMap XM weather downloads, I
went looking for a new source of in-flight weather information. I
have had it with the lack of reliablilty with the XM data downloads,
and didn't want to break the bank, either, going with a 496 or
something. I had seen several ads for the new Garmin Pilot Mycast
available for cell phones, and for the price, $10 per month, I
thought I'd give it a shot.

One word: Wow!

I had that for a few months when it first came out. I wasn't at all
impressed. Then, trying to get it disconnected was no easy feat, like
most wireless add-on features.
