With the addition
of the GDL 30A weather data receiver and a partnership with XM WX Satellite
Weather, Garmin is proud to bring real-time graphical weather data coverage of
the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) directly to Garmin marine
chartplotters.
For the first
time, mariners can access real-time weather information for the United States
directly on the GPSMAP 3010C or GPSMAP 3006C using the GDL 30A no need for a
separate PC interface. The Garmin GDL 30 black box receiver is completely
waterproof and part of the new Garmin Marine Network, a plug-and-play system
that puts GPS, weather, sonar, radar and other important data literally at a
boater's fingertips.
United States
weather information captured and processed by the GDL 30A and GA 31 pole-mount
antenna is directly overlaid onto the 3010C and GPSMAP 3006C multifunction,
color displays. Users can overlay individual or combined weather data screens,
so they can see weather conditions at their current location or along a
projected path. The GDL 30 and XM WX Satellite Weather service work to keep
boaters continually informed of changing weather patterns, so they can make
better-informed decisions and spend more time enjoying the water.
XM WX Satellite
Weather is the same leading, analytical weather technology and data that is
provided to television meteorologists across the United States. It relays a
continuous transmission of 20 different types of graphical weather information
that can be overlaid on the chartplotter, including:
Current

City forecasts
NEXRAD Radar with
precipitation type (animated, high resolution)

For mariners wanting XM Satellite Radio in addition to XM WX weather data, the
GDL 30A provides a unique audio interface with the 3010C and 3006C allowing
for connection to an on-board stereo. Over 120 satellite radio channels of
music, sports, news, talk, and entertainment are delivered to these
chartplotters via the GDL 30A for an additional monthly fee.
