Garmin 740 series

I just bought the garmin 740 series with the accompanying radar does anyone, have an opinion as to whether the xm satellite weather add on is worth it?

Where are your cruising grounds? I have 3006c with radar and thought about the xm weather module. If I didn't already have a Sirus receiver I might have sprung for the XM receiver being a little of gaget geek. My boat is in Maine where the weather can change pretty quick but I live outside Philly. It kind of cool to be able to listen to the local Eagles broad cast out on the water in the fall. I don't miss the weather maps especially since you can get weather radar on phones these days.

I live in Swarthmore outside of Philly also. My boat is in Tortola right now my aside and I are bringing heed up on the 24th of this month, as far as getting weather on my phone I have Oder ice in the bvi

Skip,

You probably have more of a need for weather than I do. Up in Maine most of my cruising is harbor hoping. Did a Sunsail charter out of Tortola a few years back. Had it cut short a few days by Hurrican Jose. A great area to sail. Maybe one of these years I'll get back down. What kind of boat do you have?
