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) Surface air pressure Surface analysis Lightning Storm cell size, speed and direction Hurricane track

Visibility forecast Wind speed Sea surface temperature Wind directiion Wave period Wave direction Wave height Buoy data

For mariners wanting XM Satellite Radio in addition to XM WX weather data, Garmin offers the GDL 30A which provides a unique audio interface with the Garmin GPSMAP 3010C and Garmin GPSMAP 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 Garmin GDL 30A for an additional monthly fee.

Garmin's GDL30A provides weather data and audio entertainment for the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) only. For more information about coverage see XM Satellite Radio's website.
