Garmin 496/XM Weather Data MIA

[IowaRV9Dreamer]

yep - it was broke

Did anyone have issues with XMWX on 4/18? I was able to only get a few updates on my XC yesterday. I was able to get metars only twice during the day and radar was usually over an hour old.

Very frustrating.

Yes, I was flying 4/18. I noticed that after a bit the weather data stopped coming... it was a 24 minutes old when I lost interest (was flying local dodging showers visually).

Pete - did you update your 496 / antenna SW last time this happened when GRMN released the patch? I didn't but now am wondering if I should have.
