OPERATION
Garmin Datalink (GDL)

Optional (continued)
SiriusXM Satellite Weather (continued)
NOTE
Echo Tops and Cloud Tops are not selectable at
the same time due to their color similarities.
The following pages can display various portions of XM Weather data:
• Navigation Map
• Weather Datalink Page (able to display all XM Weather data)
• Weather Information Page
• AUX - Trip Planning Page
• Nearest Pages
• Flight Plan Pages
• PFD Inset Map
\\,'hen 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. The
product age shown on the disp
l
ay is the elapsed time (in minutes) since
the weather data provider compiled the weather product. This age can be
significantly different (newer) than the actual age of the weather contained
within the weather product. Weather products are broadcast at specific
intervals.
If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the Broadcast
Rate intervals, the system removes the expired data from the display and
shows dashes instead of the product age. This ensures that the displayed data
is consistent with what is currently being broadcast by SiriusXM weather
service. If more than half of the expiration time has elapsed, the color of
the product age changes to yellow. If the data for a weather product is not
available, the system displays
"NIA"
instead of product age next to the
weather product symbol.
