SIRIUS MARINE WEATHER

This option provides peace of mind and safety by allow-
ing the captain to access the latest weather information
through satellite. The data can be viewed through the
"E" series GPS/Plotter (option) at the helm or the salon
television.
The service provides comprehensive weather data and
state-of-the-art forecasting including buoy reports, WSI
NOWRad® (nationwide high-resolution weather radar
imagery) to anticipate coming trouble and high-resolu-
tion sea surface temperatures that can help fisherman.

Caribbean.

Equipment Operation
OVERVIEW
The following information is for United States weather
only. A Navtex receiver must be used for worldwide
weather.
The weather application superimposes historical, live and
forecasted weather graphics and their associated weather
data on the "E" series GPS/Plotter. All this information
allows the skipper to determine the actual conditions in
his vicinity or at another location. Weather forecasts and
warnings, detailing current and preferred conditions are
updated often using the WSI NOWRad® system.
For types of warnings, watches and advisories, please
refer to the NOAA website at www.nws.noaa.gov
