XM weather useless to mariners
Pros
None
Cons
Useless as yesterdays newspaper for wind information.
Recommended it?
No
Have had the unit and xm weather for over a month. I purchased it primarily for wind information as I do alot of sailing. During the month period I have checked the wind speed and direction against NOAA realtime bouy info almost daily at four known bouy locations(places xm weather should be getting their info from) and NEVER has the data been remotely right. It has been 60 to 120 degrees off in direction and wind speed never seems to change. I have wasted well over $1500 on this and an xm weather subscription. I don't know if this is garmin's problem (Ilove their old stuff) or xm weather or wxworks (the outfit in Huntsville they get their info from), but if you are interested in wind information DON'T BOTHER BUYING THIS. P.S. the battery lasts less than 4 hours.
