Why not???

Because the XM satellites are parked above the western hemisphere. You
can't see them from Europe.

There is a satellite radio service called Worldspace that covers Europe,
Africa and Southern Asia. I'm surprised that Garmin hasn't tried to work out
some kind of deal with them.

Do they broadcast European WX?

I don't think they currently offer it to the public. The USAF has a
contract with them to provide inflight WX content to their aircraft from USAF
weather sites.

No kidding. I'll need to add to the list of languages I speak, I
suppose.

How many are you fluent in?

It was a joke, nitwit.

To prevent such misunderstandings, we have adopted the practice of

Kind of a visual aid for the humor impaired.

Dan,

Yeah, right. Know what to do in that case? Add a g or something like
that. I did, nitwit.
