For those of you who have XM weather integrated with your GPS.

Do you use the weather information to paint a big picture of what's going
on around you. I.E. "If I fly 50 miles thataway, it looks like I'll be
able to circumvent this line of storms."

Yep.

Or, do you us it on a more detailed level. E.G. "There is a two mile
corridor between these two cells, I'm gonna buzz right between 'em."

Maybe not that tight. It depends on the size and movement of the cells and
whether they're growing ir dying.

Realistically, since there is a delay between when the radar picture was
taken and when you got the information, how close are you comfortable
cutting things when relying on XM weather?

The best I can tell you is "it depends." I've used XM to do a lot of
zig-zagging among air mass CBs. I would not use it to try to sneak through
a hole in a squall line.
