Default The Garmin 496...a teenager's review

Out of curiosity, I was looking at Lowrances marine product line yesterday.
Some of their units include XM weather as a feature. So, lowrance has the
institutional knowledge. The question is when will they come out with the
product.


That's incredible. They've already GOT weather, and can't figure out
how to get it into an aviation box?

I can't wait to hear their excuses at OSH *this* year!

I think I spoke too soon. Another review of Lowrances product line doesn't
show any XM products. It was Garmin's marine line that had XM.

Sorry for the tease!

Whoa. That's how rumors start!

I remember when everyone was saying that "Lowrance is introducing XM
at OSH this year", back in '05. EVERYONE was at the Lowrance booth,
wanting to see the new product that didn't exist.

I actually felt sorry for the reps at the booth...

I did the same thing but I know I was on the Lowrence site and I know I saw
a marine unit with XM weather. Looking back now I can't find it. That is
just strange.
