SiriusXM Weather
WARNING
The weather information provided through this product is

SiriusXM data is not available in all regions.
A Garmin SiriusXM satellite weather receiver and antenna
receives satellite weather data and shows it on various Garmin

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

have a compatible satellite radio receiver. Go to
for more information. You must also have a
valid subscription to receive satellite weather and radio. For
more information, refer to the instructions for your satellite
weather and radio equipment.
Weather Data Broadcasts
Weather data is broadcast at different intervals for each weather
feature. For example, radar is broadcast at five-minute intervals.
When the Garmin receiver is turned on, or when a different
weather feature is selected, the receiver must receive new data
before it can be shown. You might experience a delay before
weather data or a different feature appears on the chart.
NOTE:
Any weather feature can change in appearance if the
source that provides the information changes.
