Furuno BBWX1 - Manual (Page 2)

Your NavNet vx2 display has just become your weather central.
NavNet vx2 is the most complete and versatile weather solution available on the
market today. It started with the FA30 Weather Fax and then the PB100 Ultrasonic
Weather Station. Now, with the addition of the BBWX1 Sirius Satellite Weather
Receiver, no other multi-function navigation system offers a more complete weather
solution for your vessel.
Furuno’s BBWX1 allows you to overlay up-to-the-minute weather information right
over your C-Map MAX charts. As shown on the screen at left, displaying a variety of
weather information is as simple as turning on or off a switch, which allows you to be
in control of the information you want to see. What’s even more amazing, is that this is
all being done on your C-Map MAX chart, which means you can plan your routes based
on specific weather information.
