A fully-contained color moving map GPS moving map XM Receiver. It literally does it all.
I had mine for 12 years and it NEVER failed to work. Robert, I agree. I seriously considered carrying it in my flight bag as a back up but I figure that with a built in GPS in my hand held radio, which I admittedly have no idea how to use, as well as my back up iPad, I would probably only be adding excess weight to my bag. I am not sure that it’s even feasible for me to back up my existing back up. I am also thinking that it may be time to part with my GDL39 3D that I also carry as a back up. You have to admit though, for the minimal cost, the XM weather is far superior to the FIS-B weather. Frank
