Product Age

When a weather product is active on the Weather Data Link Page or the Navigation Map Page, the age of the

data is displayed on the screen (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 30-, 60-, or 90-minute 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.
