GARMIN aera 796 GPS - Americas The Garmin aera 796 has the option to purchase a GXM™ 42 receiver for SiriusXM WX Satellite Weather and SiriusXM Radio. SiriusXM WX Satellite Weather gives next generation radar (NEXRAD), aviation routine weather reports (METARs), terminal aerodrome forecasts (TAFs), temporary flight restrictions (TFRs), lightning, winds aloft, turbulence forecasts, PIREPs, icing forecast and several other important weather products. The weather data may be laid directly over the unit’s navigation and topographic map databases. And because the optional GXM 42 is powered through the aera 796, the set up is simple, and satellite weather and radio can continue to operate for up to four hours without external power. SiriusXM WX subscription data and coverage area information is available from the SiriusXM website. Until December 31, 2014, SiriusXM will be offering a $300 Prepaid Visa Card with the purchase of the Optional GXM 42 Portable Aviation Weather Receiver and qualifying subscriptions. Info is located by clicking this link. The aera 796 will also display traffic if coupled to a compatible traffic source like the optional GTX 330, showing TIS (traffic information service) where available. Garmin has increased the interface capability through the addition of a second serial port to allow even more connectivity simultaneously. With two serial ports, the pilot can display traffic information, send frequencies to a Garmin SL30 or SL40 radio, send position information and more to other select aircraft devices. SafeTaxi and AOPA Airport Directory Taxiing at unfamiliar airports is made easier thanks to SafeTaxi®, which includes geo-referenced diagrams of over 1,000 U.S. airports that identify runways, taxiways and hangars, as well as the aircraft’s exact location on the field. The aera 796 GPS also has AOPA Airport Directory data, an electronic version of AOPA’s popular U.S. pilot guide, which includes information for over 5,300 public-use airports and nearly 7,000 FBOs. Optionally, pilots can purchase the AC-U-KWIK airport directory database, which features worldwide airport information for more than 7,800 airports globally.
