A Garmin SiriusXM satellite weather receiver and antenna receives satellite weather data and shows it on
various Garmin devices, including the Navigation chart on a compatible chartplotter. The weather data for
each feature comes from reputable weather data centers such as the National Weather Service and the
Hydrometeorological Prediction Center. For more information, go to

Weather Data Broadcasts
Weather data is broadcast at different intervals for each weather feature. For example, radar is broadcast at
five-minute intervals. When the Garmin receiver is turned on, or when a different weather feature is selected, the
receiver must receive new data before it can be shown. You might experience a delay before weather data or a
different feature appears on the chart.
NOTE: Any weather feature can change in appearance if the source that provides the information changes.
