4.10 GFDS Weather (Optional)
GFDS Weather is an optional feature available with the Iridium
®
satellite
system that is interfaced through the optional Garmin GSR 56. The primary
maps for viewing Garmin Flight Data System (GFDS) Weather data are
the Weather Data Link Pages in the Map Page Group. These are the only
GDU 620 map displays capable of all available GFDS weather products.
The Wx Weather pages may be oriented to either Track Up or North Up.
Both GFDS and XM Weather may be installed and selected individually.
GFDS Weather coverage is available throughout most of Europe, Canada
and the U.S. Additional radar coverage areas are being added continuously.
Selection of the Weather Source is made on the Aux - System Setup page.
More detail on GFDS weather products and coverage can be found at:
http://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/gfds-weather/
NOTE: A system can be configured for both XM and GFDS, but both cannot
be displayed a the same time.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within
data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather
conditions.
