small boat satellite weather, expensive toy or ?

Connor, I have it on my Garmin GPSMAP 640, and it works well, although I didn't realize the radar coverage didn't go past Freeport. Remember me calling you on the VHF when we were anchored out over at Cayo Costa the morning before we ran up to Terry's? I could see all that rain coming and was trying to get us moving so we could stay ahead of it! You thought it would blow over, but I was trying to tell you it looked pretty solid!

Had the boat out today and got back to the dock just before the rain started. The front was up around Jupiter/Juno and it showed up real well, although the light stuff that came over the dock did not show up. Harry has the same thing on his GPS 376 that he uses on his motorcycle . . . said it's real handy for figuring out detours to avoid need for donning rain suit! Denny
