G3x/xm ?

[40m]

Is necessary to have an XM subscription to have the G3X - GTX345 identify TFR's?

ADS B "in" should give you wx, traffic and TFRs. From what I understand. Id be skeptical if someone tells you that XM is worth it over the free stuff.... IMHO

As Meatloaf said "two out of three ain't bad" but I still want all three. Wx and traffic show fine without XM just not TRF's.

TFRs will show with both XM and FIS-B but they seem to take a while to come through. On a flight yesterday a fire TFR took 20 minutes to show on my 796. I was abeam it by then. Weather is much quicker.

Hey Glenn
Get the Xm. I had to ferry a second plane a home the other day with ADSB weather and is terrible. It would be fine local flying , if you plan to do any cross country get the XM, I found ADSB to be very inaccurate with rain and being able to navigate in it. Besides how can you listen to music without it😂

Will TFR's show up only with XM or am I just not dialed in yet?

Glenn,
Ive flown all my Carbon Cubs with just XM Radio (not weather.... I too like tunes!), and I have always received the TFR's thru ADSB IN. The thing is, they only appear on the Garmin chart, not on the VFR chart.

I will say they arent CONSISTENTLY there.... I found once in a while that on Foreflight on my iPad or phone, I see a TFR thats not on my Garmin Chart on the G3X. Dont know why....

I have just upgraded to XM Weather IN as well, and havnt flown any long cross country to test it yet, but I susptect, as Chuck noted, that it will be better Weather info..... there are screens that XM gives you like winds aloft that are not available on ADSB IN.

A few times I have seen a TFR on one device but not on another because one device was showing a TFR that was scheduled or no longer active. Next time you see that discrepancy maybe look at the details and confirm the date/time of the TFR? It is possibly displaying a TFR that isn't active at that time.

Last Saturday VP Pence was south of me for the weekend. My Ipad with Foreflight showed the TFR but not the G3X.
