USING XM SATELLITE WEATHER PRODUCTS
The Weather Data Link Page is in the Map group of pages. It is the primary starting point for viewing weather
data because it can display all available XM weather products. No other G1000 page can display all XM weather
products.
When a weather product is active on the Weather Data Link Page or the Navigation Map Page, the age of the
data displays on the screen. This represents the age of the product, based on the difference between when the
data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time (Figure 6-2). Weather products are refreshed at
specific intervals as defined in the Refresh Rate column in Table 6-1.
If, for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within 30-, 60-, or 90-minute intervals as defined in
the Expiration Time column in 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 and time displayed in the upper right
corner of the page changes from light blue to yellow.
