your GPSMAP 378/478. You must have a subscription to XM WX

Weather, and you must plug your GXM 30 antenna into the USB

port on the back of the unit to receive the XM signal. If you do not

have a subscription to XM WX Weather, the features described in

this section work only when the GPSMAP 378/478 is in Simulator

Mode and the GXM 30 antenna is unplugged.

• To view current weather conditions and forecast information

for your current location or a specific location, use the

Weather Data option on the Find Menu. For more information,
