XM Weather problem

Yeah, for the airway support I presume.

Exactly.

Well, I have not gotten the XM weather to work since I first posted. I have a strong XM signal, and it shows I have the subscription, but nothing comes up. I even took it out into the car and drove around for a while but nothing happened. I guess I need to make some calls tomorrow....

You will probably need to reinitialize the service. The way I understand it you have to leave the unit on long enough the first time to get all the services. It took me about an hour. This has to be completed within 24 hours of them (XM) starting the process. At least that's what they told me.

It was a pain getting it all going, but it's been great since.

Called XM this morning, they said all they could do was to send a reset signal or something like that. They gave me the number for Garmin if it didn't work. I put the unit out on the balcony for about 45 min and it never started working, so I called Garmin. The guy I spoke to was awesome, really knew his stuff. He said he was going to send a reset signal, and as he was doing it, stuff started popping up on the screen. He also e-mailed me instructions on how to update the software on the GPS to the current version.

Anyway, it works great now, I have wx within 5 min of turning it on.
