For those using Garmin XM weather, Garmin put out a notice for a mandatory OS update.



Garmin states that their XM weather units will no longer work after 5 May without the new update.

Does anyone know, technically, what the update actually fixed?  I noticed after I did the update, I now have to acknowledge a wheather disclaimer on startup (on my 696).  I'm wondering if the update was driven by the legal department.

According to the download synopsis, it is all technical with XM weather transmission and has nothing to do with Jepp cycles.



I glanced through the OS changes that scrolled by before doing the install.  Once you complete the install, you cannot see those anymore.

When I called Garmin tech support yesterday, the prerecorded message stated that the update was NOT mandatory for 696 users.  

BTW, I complained about the price of the updates in relation to the cost of just purchasing an IPAD and using foreflight and they gave me a 50% discount code for the yearly subscription!

I just tried to update my Garmin 696 and they said that starting in 2011, I need to have a SD card and a card reader for updates.  No longer do you load directly into the units.  The good thing is they are providing it for free.  The bad thing is I have to wait another week....
