Thoughts?

It would be 100% in keeping with my past experience and luck for AvMap
to come out with XM weather, now that I've finally given up on them
completely and purchased a Garmin 496.

;-)

The AvMap is head & shoulders above anything that Garmin offers, except
for XM weather and music. If they ever get their head's out of their
Italian (not German) butts, and come out with XM capability, I will be
their customer again in a heartbeat.

Not that the Garmin is bad. With the AirGizmo panel dock (which is
also made for your AvMap, BTW), the 496 is an outstanding weather
display and music system. It's just an okay GPS, however, no better
than our (much less expensive) Lowrance Airmap 2000c.
