Existing XM Weather Users

Garmin has identified an issue with reception of XM weather products for aviation and marine devices using a GXM30, GXM31, GXM40 and GXM 51. This issue will make it difficult for the devices to receive weather information. The issue has been corrected with a free software release from Garmin.

Aviation software can be updated using Garmin's WebUpdater. The 396 will need software version 4.60 or higher; the 496 will need software version 3.70 or higher.

Marine software can be downloaded from the Marine Device Software Updates page. Please be sure to choose the appropriate bundle update for your product. Instructions are at the top of the page.
