Just got the attached mailing from Garmin that XM Weather has a problem and an immediate Garmin software update is necessary.

 

I assume this update applies to the Garmin 696 unit.

FWIW - I called GARMIN and was told it only applies to 396 & 496 NOT 696.

 

No guarantee expressed or implied...your mileage may vary...but that what the tech told me.

Since I had to uninstall the unit to update databases, I upgraded my 696 to Rev 4.40 yesterday.

 

The one noticeable change is that now there is an XM-WX splash screen with the usual legal disclaimer of responsibility. I guess it's possible that's the only change.

 

So now instead of hitting the ENTER KEY once to activate the unit, we get to do it twice.

Just received a phone message about needing a Garmin XM software update. Anyone know if this is new - and NOT the one from early March? I've already done that one.
