Jay, live weather is NOT trivial. And for all your griping about
Garmin's lack of innovation, they were the innovator on that one (for
handhelds). Early on cockpit too. And they did it RIGHT (satellite to
plane, NOT ground antennae to plane like King did it).

I don't think anyone else does satellite to plane weather, EXCEPT
Garmin, do they?

You mean for handhelds I guess. There are several vendors piping NEXRAD
for MFDs.
