Figure 6-68 Connext Weather Data Request Results with Precipitation and Infrared Satellite Displayed
During a Connext Data Request, the Request Status box displays "Processing..." and the 'CANCEL REQ'
button is highlighted. A countdown timer will display the estimated time remaining for the data request. If
desired, the Connext Data Request menu may be removed while the data request is processing by pressing the
FMS Knob; the data request will continue to process in the background. Connext Data Requests typically take
between 1 to 3 minutes to complete depending on the size of the selected weather coverage area and Iridium
signal connection quality.
The system retrieves all available Garmin Connext Weather products within the selected coverage area during
an initial Connext Data Request, regardless of which products (if any) are currently enabled for display. On
subsequent requests, previously retrieved textual data (such as METARs and TAFS) is retained if it has not
expired, while new textual weather data matching the current coverage area and all graphical weather data is
downloaded during every data request.
At the completion of a successful weather data request, the Request Status Window (if still open) indicates
'OK'.
