The
GDL 69 is a remote sensor that receives broadcast
weather data from a service of XM Satellite Radio and
delivers the data to Garmin’s popular avionics
systems. This highly reliable, near real-time weather
information is transmitted to industry-leading
products such as the G1000™, MX20™, GNS 530™,
and GNS 430™.
XM
Satellite Radio and its XM WX Satellite Weather
service operate in the S-band frequency to provide
continuous uplink capabilities at any altitude
throughout North America. XM WX’s comprehensive
weather suite is powered by WxWorx, an innovator in
location-specific weather data and leading provider of
analytical weather services to the broadcast media and
emergency management industry.
For
pilots who want additional value from XM Satellite
Radio, Garmin also offers the GDL 69A™. This
receiver combines XM WX’s weather services with XM’s
digital audio entertainment, which provides 130-plus
channels of music, news, talk, sports and information.
The
GDL 69 and 69A: Bringing you an increased level of
confidence, comfort, and security.
Expected
Availability: Garmin will offer the GDL 69 and GDL 69A
for the MX20 multi-functional display in January 2005
and the G1000 integrated glass cockpit soon afterward.
The company expects to make the GDL 69 available for
the GNS 430/530 integrated navigation systems in the
first quarter of 2005. Initially, the GNS 430/530 will
utilize the XM WX service to display only NEXRAD and
METAR data. But when the GNS 430/530 are approved for
WAAS and have received the requisite upgrade, these
products will offer the extensive weather capabilities
of the GDL 69 and the combined weather/audio features
of the GDL 69A. The WAAS upgrade for the GNS400/500
series products can be expected to be available mid
2005 for approximately $1500.
