Weather and Sea Surface Information

The GDL 30A receives XM Weather Radio data and shows it on your

chartplotter. 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

http://weather.xmradio.com/weather

for more

information.) Any weather feature can change in appearance or

interpretation if the source that provides the information changes.

XM Weather Radio data is broadcast at set rates (see

page 26

for

all weather-related broadcast rates). For example, NEXRAD Radar

data is broadcast at five minute intervals. When the marine network

is turned on or when a new feature is selected, the GDL 30A has to

receive new data before it can be displayed. For this reason you may

experience a delay before weather data or a new feature appears on

the map.

WARNING: The XM Weather Radio data is merely supplemental and advisory

in nature and is not intended to be relied up on as safety-critical information. You

should always exercise caution and common sense when confronted with severe

weather conditions.
