Note the age of the NEXRAD vs. the age of the XM lightning.

I can't access the image - would you provide the info directly?

I think it has something to do with how the picture is compiled. See:
http://www.flyingmag.com/article.asp...age_numb er=1

Since the radar sweeps take time (20 seconds for each 360 deg sweep) and
multiple are needed (14) to get a full vertical picture, it takes about 5
minutes for a complete volume scan.

Being a "system" involving many possible points of failure (not necessarily
catastrophic, sometimes just hiccups) a delay of 17 minutes seems to be
entirely possible albeit uncommon. The good thing is that it's kind enough
to show its age

For some reason, the direct link has quit working.

Try this one and go to the bottom of the page:

Believe me, I'm grateful to have it.

What do you do for EADS?

According to various people on the Cessna Pilots Ass'n forums, it's a bug that
crept in wiyh a redesign of the G1000's GDL69/69A XM receiver module. Garmin
is working on a fix.

That's my old stamping ground - used to use Beaumont for instrument
training since they have virtually every approach known to mankind :-)

A bit OT for this thread, but I heard the Trinity VOR burned down
recently - did they replace it? I notice it's depicted on your moving
map.

There was nothing in the NOTAMs about it. I never tuned it in.
