With the addition of the GDL™ 30/30A 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 30 — 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 30 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:
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 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.
The GDL 30/30A: revolutionizing the delivery of real-time
weather data to mariners
GDL30/30A 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.
