Product Ages (US
& Canada)
When an XM weather product is active on a map, the age of the data is displayed on the screen to the right of
the product symbol (Figure 6-2). The age of the product is based on the time difference between when the data
was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time. Weather products are refreshed at specific intervals
(defined in the
Refresh Rate
column in Table 6-1).
If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the
Expiration Time
intervals (see Table 6-1), the
data is considered expired and is removed from the display. This ensures that the displayed data is consistent
with what is currently being broadcast by XM Satellite Radio services. If more than half of the expiration time
has elapsed, the color of the product age displayed changes to yellow.
Table 6-1 shows the weather product symbols, the expiration time and the refresh rate. The refresh rate
represents the interval at which XM Satellite Radio broadcasts new signals that may or may not contain new
weather data. It does not represent the rate at which weather data is updated or new content is received by
the Data Link Receiver. Weather data is updated at intervals that are defined and controlled by XM Satellite
Radio and its data vendors.
