From EAA's hotline:


XM RADIO TEAMS WITH AVMAP
As part of XM Radio's ongoing effort to provide pilots with a wide selection
of XM WX-capable display solutions, the company has teamed with AvMap. AvMap
will offer XM WX Satellite Weather as an option on its portable navigation
systems including the EKP-IV, the EKP-IV PRO, and the GeoPilot II Plus. To
learn more visit
www.avmap.us or www.xmwxweather.com.

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 only mention I could find of XM Wx on the Avmap site was this on the
Geopilot II Plus page.

Weather Conditions (coming soon!)
With an optional antenna you will be able to receive constantly updated
XM/WX weather conditions: NEXRAD (next generation radar), and Lightning
information will be displayed on the map.
