 WARNING

The weather information provided through this product is subject to service 

interruptions and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information, 

and consequently should not be relied upon exclusively. Always use common 

sense while driving or navigating, and check alternate weather information 

sources prior to making safety-related decisions. You acknowledge and agree 

that you shall be solely responsible for use of the weather information and all 

decisions taken with respect to driving or navigating in weather. Garmin will 

not be responsible for any consequences of using the weather data.

Cellular Weather

Cellular weather provides data through wireless service providers. An 

antenna, such as the Garmin GDL

®

 40, communicates with nearby cellular 

towers to receive the weather data. The weather data for each feature 

comes from reputable weather data centers such as the National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service, 

Environment Canada, and Météo-France.
To view cellular weather, you must initially select an annual subscription 

service online at 

http://my.garmin.com

. You may purchase a day pass directly 

from the chartplotter. A day pass provides 24 hours of continuous weather 

data. Refer to the antenna installation instructions or the instructions at  

http://my.garmin.com

 to activate this service.

XM WX Satellite Weather

A Garmin XM satellite weather receiver and antenna receives XM WX 

Satellite Weather data and shows it on various Garmin devices, including the 

Navigation chart on a 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 

the XM WX Satellite Weather Web site at

 www.xmwxweather.com

.

To view XM WX Satellite Weather information, you must have a 

subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather, and you must have a Garmin XM 

satellite weather receiver connected to a chartplotter.
