Can you imagine working a major even like SNF or OSH for Lowrance and AvMap
the last few years? All they've heard is "Where's the weather?" from tens
of thousands of people. It's got to be like fingernails on a chalkboard by
now.

The fact that neither company has been able to produce a weather product is
more suspicious than ever. Did Garmin make an iron-clad exclusive deal with
XM?

No XM Garmin didn't. Just look at the XM site

I count 12 companies offering hardware.

They HAVE to be getting the message that the time is now, (and has been) to get
it in their product.

It has to be aggravating to be a salesman, and getting crap sales, because the
front office won't get you what you need to sell product.
