Lowrance GPS
Jonathan,
that Lowrance cannot deliver How do you know that? Maybe they just don't want to yet. After all, XM requires quite an investment from the buyer and is usable only in the US. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Judging by the popularity of the Garmin 396, and the fact that the vast majority of general aviation operations occur in the US, I'd say that Lowrance missed the boat with XM--big time. JKG

No doubt about that!
The break from boating DOES give me more time to fly tho.... We live on a river, so, in Spring, the freshet has to disperse B 4 we can launch.. Winter has not really started yet! 10 deg C here yesterday... (!) Almost no snow here, snowmobilers ****ed, skiers, snowboarders bummed out...

Maybe, but Lowrance has always been a little slow..
A rep told me yrs ago, (we talking marine instruments now) that they never wanted their customers to have "test" their "new" stuff. They really wanted to get the bugs out of them BEFORE they ship them... Other manufacturers have the same philosophy , and I like it. YMMV...
