Receiver installed and separate subscription to the weather service. You can get

5.1 Overview

The weather application superimposes historical, live and forecasted weather graphics
on a world map. It also provides textual forecasts and warnings. These graphics and
their associated weather data enable you to determine the actual conditions in your
vicinity or at a particular location. Weather forecasts and warnings, detailing current
and predicted conditions, are regularly updated.
For a basic weather glossary, please refer to the appendix at the rear of this manual. For
types of warnings, watches and advisories, refer to the NOAA website at
