Default AvMap EKP-IV users? any XM coming down the pipe?

Same. We also have the AM 2000.Love it!

XM Wx coming from Lowrance next year.

We use an GPRS IpaQ for real time weather radar on the Stbd yoke for
now.

Would be nice to have it super imposed on the AM display. (if wx
weather is extended to Canada by then, which I am told it will be..).

I stopped at the AvMap booth at Oshkosh last July. The salesrep asked
me whether I was going to ask him about XMWeather because everybody was
asking him about it. He lamented the fact that it took the Germans
forever to develop the softwares. He could not give me any estimates
on when it will be available (probably got burned from earlier
unfulfilled promises).

The next best GPS in terms of display size is Lowrance Airmap. Their
salesreps assured me that they would introduce a color unit with
XMweather at Sun-n-Fun 07. We have been satisified owners of the
Airmap 1000 for the last few years and will certainly grab an Airmap
with XMweather capability as soon as it is available.
