The GDL™ 30A weather/audio
satellite receiver brings XM satellite weather
data and XM satellite radio directly to your
Garmin chartplotter - without the
need for a separate PC interface.
View Weather on Your Plotter
Mariners using the GDL 30A receiver
can view the same leading-edge satellite
weather data provided to television
meterologists across the United States. The
GDL 30A receives XM WX Satellite Weather
data, including animated NEXRAD weather
radar and forecasts, current conditions,
surface air pressure, visibility,
precipitation, wind data, wave data,
storm cell size, speed and direction and
surface temperatures, for your boat's
current location or along a projected
path. This information appears right on
the Map page of your chartplotter, so
you can see how the weather will affect
your current position.
Listen to Music
With the GDL 30A, you can also receive
XM Satellite Radio. The GDL 30A allows
you to connect your chartplotter to
your on-board stereo to broadcast 120
channels of non-stop music, sports,
news and talk.
Connect to the Garmin Marine Network
To take advantage of this detailed
information, just connect your GDL 30A to the
Garmin Marine Network, which sends the XM
weather and radio data over the entire
network, so any chartplotter can access
and control it. You can choose one of
several subscription packages that offer
different types of services.
The GDL 30A provides weather data and
audio entertainment for the United
States (except Alaska and Hawaii) only.
For more information about coverage, see
the XM Satellite Radio website.
