 |

I use my Garmin 496 with XM weather several timss per week.
I was able to get the XM weather data on 12/31/08.
Today (01/02/09), I was not able to retrieve the weather data. I called XM and they made several attempts to 'turn on' my XM receiver to no avail.
I then thought that I had a hardware problem with the 496. A call to Garmin tech support was made. The tech that I spoke with indicated that I was about the 20th call that she alone had taken just today. The Garmin tech sayes that this is a XM problem and not a Garmin hardware problem.
The tech sayes that it may take a day or two for XM to sort out their problem. (I say that they should go back to the software load that they had on the 31st!!)

This sounds suspiciously like the leap year problem Microsoft had with their
Zune.

There was a leap second added. Can't say that has any impact.
