Garmin GDL30A Marine Weather/Audio Satellite Receiver
With the addition of the Garmin 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 Garmin GPSMAP
3010Cor Garmin GPSMAP
3006C using the Garmin GDL 30A — no need for a separate PC
interface. The Garmin GDL 30A 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 Garmin
GDL 30 and GA 31 pole-mount antenna is directly overlaid onto the Garmin
GPSMAP 3010C and Garmin
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 Garmin GDL 30A 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 conditions
-
City forecasts
-
NEXRAD Radar with precipitation type (animated, high resolution)
-
