AvMap Satellite Navigation has announced the introduction of their long anticipated XM Weather package for use with the company's popular EKP-IV, EKP-IV PRO and GeoPilot II Plus GPS systems.
Pilots now have access to constantly-updated, high resolution weather information, right in the cockpit – an invaluable asset whenever the flight path is marked by approaching storms.
"AvMap customers have always relied on our large moving maps for superior situational awareness in the cockpit," states Dan Lyons, North American Sales Manager.
Lyons adds, "Having XM WX weather as another product feature will bring that experience to a whole new level". AvMap GPS systems are well known for their large, easy to view screens and numerous built-in features including Terrain and Terrain Warning, FAA Private Airport database and Victor Airways and approach data. The addition of XM WX weather makes AvMap the most versatile portable GPS system in the market today.
XM WX Satellite Weather provided by WxWorx has quickly become the industry standard in providing up to date weather data in the general aviation marketplace. Reliable and affordable, XM WX offers situational awareness that pilots have come to expect from their moving map GPS system.
AvMap products will receive weather data from the WxWorx receiver (model REWX9ID). The receiver package retails for $599.00 and includes a receiver, AvMap interface module, power cable and XM antenna. A free software upgrade to operate the WxWorx receiver is available online.
