Anywhere XM WX is based upon award-winning Anywhere Map , a full-featured moving map with the capability to plan, execute, and modify flight plans with ease. The color touch screen Windows® PDA is a system you already know how to use. And the precision GPS updates your position constantly, taking the guess-work out of situational awareness.
Cockpit convenience
Anywhere XM WX-Satellite Weather is a clean, simplified installation. One cigarette lighter plug-in powers both the iPAQ PDA and the Wx Worx receiver. Standard with this system is a wireless aircraft-grade Bluetooth GPS. The satellite receiver can be placed anywhere in the cockpit, even under a seat. A compact antenna maintains contact with the XM WX satellites.
AnywhereLink (optional)
AnywhereLink lets you connect to weather from virtually anywhere - even when you're not in the airplane!
