system to report xm weather 4 hours of a 27 hour flight from PYM to FTG and

I've owned both Garmin hand-held GPS systems and the AnywhereWx system.
I believe that I've posted my opinions previously, so you may want to
Google, but feel free to email me privately with any questions.

The bottom line is that AnywhereWx is a promising product that will
probably never get beyond the "promising" stage of development. It is a
perpetual beta. The company has almost no visible quality control
process for either the software or the databases. The navigation,
terrain, and obstacle databases that Control Vision uses are not as
comprehensive nor as accurate as the Jepp and home-grown databases that
Garmin uses.

That all being said, the XM antenna that ships with the WxWorx receiver
is very sensitive to placement. I found the best location in my
airplane (Cherokee) was either at the very front of the glare shield or
on the top of the sun visor.

I sold my 6 month old AnywhereWx system (at a substantial loss) and
bought a Garmin 396. I have been very pleased with the Garmin unit.
