When a weather product is selected for display on the Weather Data Link (CNXT)
Page, a box containing a symbol for the product and its age (in minutes) are shown
in the upper right. If weather data has not been requested, ‘N/A’ is shown next to
the product symbol instead of age. The age of the weather product is based on the
time difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current
GPS time. Weather products are updated continuously and broadcasted at specific
intervals (defined in the Broadcast Rate column in the following table).
If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the defined Expiration
Time intervals, the data is considered expired and is removed from the display. The
age of the expired product is replaced by dashes. If more than half of the expiration
time has elapsed, the color of the product age readout changes to yellow.
The refresh rate represents the interval at which the Garmin Connext ground-
based servers make available the most current known weather data. It does not
necessarily represent the rate at which new content is received from weather sources.
