Displaying Weather Information
The GXM 30A receives XM WX Weather data and shows it on
the Garmin unit’s Map Page and other screens throughout the
unit. The weather data for each feature comes from reputable
weather data centers such as the National Weather Service and
the Hydrometerological Prediction Center. (See the XM WX
Satellite Weather Web site at
for more information.) Any weather feature can change
in appearance or interpretation if the source that provides the
information changes. XM WX Weather data is broadcast at
set rates (See
for all weather-related broadcast rates).
For example, NEXRAD Radar data is broadcast at five minute
intervals. When the Garmin unit is turned on or when a new
feature is selected, the GXM 30A has to receive new data before
it can be shown. You can experience a delay before weather data
or a new feature appears on the map.
To display weather features on the Garmin unit’s
Map Page:
1. Press the
MENU key.
2. Highlight
