Default Garmin 396 Glitch - major update

Nexrad and other weather comes from the government.


Ultimately of course, yes. For the moment, it's coming by way of WSI:

Why would you pay $50 per month when just about everything you get for
that $50 will be free? Not to mention the people that wouldn't pay a
nickel for weather now get it for free.


The cost of admission will probably come down, but for the moment, it's about
$15K for the display and receiver. You may already have the display, but not
many do. The cost will come down only if the FAA signals that it is really
behind the program and will stick with it, so manufacturers know this isn't just
another microwave approach program, or mode-S TIS.

stuff about entertainment value of XM snipped

I'll just add that the entertainment value is zero for me.
