XM Weather (only) Price - $9.95 XM Radio & XM Weather Price - $16.94 I have to wonder how complete the weather is. I couldn't tell from the site but I bet it's only nexrad and 3-day forecasts. I bet there's no metars, tafs, etc that pilots would need. |

Radar Summary,Radar Coverage, City Forecasts, Weather Warnings & Surface Observations. |

I bet there's no metars, tafs, etc that pilots would need. That was my thought. The unit looks like it is lacking in almost everything a pilot would want to have in a GPS. The view of aerial pictures of the current location is a neat gimmick, but also probably not too useful for pilots. -- Jim in NC |
