Goodbye to Garmin's Weather Monopoly

Where, unless they've updated the web sites in the few hours,
you will find nothing about it on the Avmap site and an Avmap logo
on the XM site which takes you back to the Avmap site.

The total lack of info from Avmap and Garmin would lead me to believe that
this is just a vaporware announcement. I wouldn't get too excited until they
start putting some hardware and software out.

Most likely not, since XM weather is an add-on feature to the Avmap.
I'm certain that an external receiver/antenna is required just like
the XM addon to anywhere map.

Is it safe to assume you meant to write XM where you wrote Garmin?

Yep. Sorry about that. Not enough coffee this morning.

Presuming that AvMap combines the external receiver & antenna into one unit,
this seems to differ little from the 496's hockey-puck antenna.

I think that is a huge presumption. It could and might very well be a
hockey-puck and a box in addition to the AvMap unit.
