HAZARD AVOIDANCE
Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather
WARNING:
information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing
weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product
may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age.
For each enabled Garmin Connext weather product, the system displays a weather product icon and product
age. The product age is the elapsed time (in minutes) since the weather data provider compiled the weather
product. The product age display does not indicate the age of the information contained within the weather
product, which can be significantly older than the displayed weather product age.
Weather products are updated continuously or refreshed at specific intervals (defined in the Refresh Rate
column in Table 6-5). If for any reason, a product is not refreshed within the Expiration Time intervals (see
Table 6-1), the system removes the expired data from the display, and shows dashes instead of the product age.
If more than half of the expiration time has elapsed, the color of the product age changes to yellow. If data for
a weather product is not available, the system displays 'N/A' next to the weather product symbol instead of the
product age.
Table 6-5 shows the Garmin Connext weather product symbols, the expiration times, and the refresh rates.
The refresh rate represents the interval at which GFDS ground-based servers make available the most current
known weather data. It does not necessarily represent the rate at which new content is received from various
weather sources.
