Yep, me too. Lowrance -- the world leader in nautical GPS -- has been
"promising" weather for over two years -- and STILL nothing. It must
be a lot harder than we think it is...

It is a priority thing with Lowrance. They were purchased by a company
that
is completely marine based. The new parent company had Lowrance pull
resources from developing XM for aviation so those resources could fill
in
some percieved holes in the marine product line.

Okay, I'll buy that -- but isn't downloadable, "live" XM weather
something that boaters want, too?

It would seem like a great thing for the marine crowd?

Out of curiosity, I was looking at Lowrances marine product line yesterday.
Some of their units include XM weather as a feature. So, lowrance has the
institutional knowledge. The question is when will they come out with the
product.

For my sake, I hope they don't limit XM to their larger platforms. Those are
a bit big for my cockpit.
