GPS/XM Weather Question

You can pass a GPS receiver around just like you could
approach plates.

Not an installed one.

At least not without passing the entire plane around... which sort of
defeats the purpose.

The radar and charts are equally time-limited in their usefulness, other
than the exact time period during which they are useful.

This is non-trivial when it comes time to actually re-use them.

[It has] nothing to do with the question of "user fees"
as that phrase has been applied to aviation products.

You are right inasmuch as they differ from "FAA user fees", but if they
effectively accomplish the same thing, then it makes little difference
that an end run has been made around the dictionary.
