XM WX Satellite Weather and Cellular Weather

 WARNING

The weather information provided through this product is subject to service interruptions and may contain errors, 

inaccuracies, or outdated information, and consequently should not be relied upon exclusively. Always use common 

sense while driving or navigating, and check alternate weather information sources prior to making safety-related 

decisions. You acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for use of the weather information 

and all decisions taken with respect to driving or navigating in weather. Garmin will not be responsible for any 

consequences of using the weather data.

Cellular Weather

Cellular weather provides data through wireless service providers. An antenna, such as the Garmin GDL

®

 40, 

communicates with nearby cellular towers to receive the weather data. The weather data for each feature comes 

from reputable weather data centers such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

National Weather Service, Environment Canada, and Météo-France.
To view cellular weather, you must initially select an annual subscription service online at 

http://my.garmin.com

. You may purchase a day pass directly from the chartplotter. A day pass provides 24 hours of 

continuous weather data. Refer to the antenna installation instructions or the instructions at 

http://my.garmin.com

 to 

activate this service.

XM WX Satellite Weather

A Garmin XM satellite weather receiver and antenna receives XM WX Satellite Weather data and shows it on 

various Garmin devices, including the Navigation chart on a chartplotter. The weather data for each feature comes 

from reputable weather data centers such as the National Weather Service and the Hydrometeorological Prediction 

Center. For more information, go to the XM WX Satellite Weather Web site at

 www.xmwxweather.com

.

To view XM WX Satellite Weather information, you must have a subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather, and 

you must have a Garmin XM satellite weather receiver connected to a chartplotter.
