Boating and Marine Electronics
When you are out at sea you are at the mercy of your equipment. That is why it pays to get the best, marine GPS systems, like the Garmin GDL 30 Marine Weather Satellite Receiver. Garmin has produced some of the finest GPS systems in the world, and they applied that experience to the creation of the GDL 30. The unit can bring XM satellite weather data and XM satellite radio directly to your Garmin chart plotter, without the need for a separate PC interface. With this new device, mariners are finally able to receive the same leading-edge satellite weather data that is provided to television meteorologists across the United States.
The GDL 30 receives XM WX Satellite Weather data, including animated NEXRAD weather radar and forecasts, current conditions, surface air pressure, visibility, precipitation, wind data, wave data, storm cell size, speed and direction and surface temperatures, for your boat’s current location or along a projected path. This information appears right on the Map page of your chart plotter, so you can see how the weather will affect your current position. Of all of your boating and marine electronics devices, this unit will quickly become your favorite, as you can also receive XM satellite radio and broadcast 120 channels of non-stop music, sports, news and talk.
