I currently operate a king air with anywhere xmwx on my tablet with my jepp plates. I think the whole thing cost me under 1k. That was with a bluetooth GPS which is up on the windshield (heated of course) and xm antenna (wired on the windshield) still heated.

I'm going to switch over to WXWorx software tomorrow because anywhere map suuuucks.

I've got the xm router in the back of the plane giving my tablet information via bluetooth. I've also got the gps giving info bluetooth. Works awsome especially picking my way through a line of thunderstorms yesterday on my trip back.

I don't care what they say but the info they give you is pretty close to realtime. 10 right due to xmwx says to.

Does the WXWORX antenna require external power?

The Wx Worx receiver is about the size of a cd case and we just throw it under a seat in the cockpit. It requires 12-28 volts and we use a power cord plugged into a cigarette lighter type receptical. The antenna itself requires no power, it just connects to the receiver.
