Lowrance Sirius Satellite Weather Module

This is very cool.

While I was at Marco Island a couple of weeks ago I installed my new Lowrance Sirius Satellite Weather Module --

which overlays satellite weather radar data onto the HDS-7 GPS chartplotter, which is also new to me--

This is really an awesome system. The HDS-7 itself is really cool, very user friendly with good charts already installed, but adding the weather module gives you a ton of additional info which is very useful such as wind speed & direction, water temps AND weather radar.

The weather radar shows T-storms with an icon that also has an arrow showing the direction it is moving.

Allows you to set alarms for T-Storms and lightning. Had mine set at 6 miles and it worked great--especially when the forecast calls for dodging thunderstorms every day.

A lot of you guys probably already have a newer system similar to this on your boats, however I had not bought any new marine electronics in a LONG time, and all I can say is......WOW!

Sounds like a nice setup, and something I am considering. I tried both you links, but they go to a 'page not found' error. Maybe you could check on that.
