How does anyone like the XM Weather thing on the 665?  Was thinking about getting it for a trip.

I've had it on my 478 for a few years now and recently canceled it. I liked it but it does come at a cost. Specifically, $29.99 per month. While it's nice to have NEXRAD over the map as you go, you can get the same information on an Iphone (which wasn't available when I bought the 478). The fisherman subscription supposedly allows you to turn it off during the "non" season but I haven't trued this for a few years.

I like my navweather on my 665. It costs an additional $4.95 per month to add. I learned if you have a lifetime XM radio subscription you can't add weather for $4.95. My friend that has a 665 told me that. I haven't personally verified it.

Is the "navweather" different than the NEXRAD? NEXRAD overlays a weather image onto the map. It is not a voice telling you what the weather (or traffic) is.

Have  it on mine and has helped me out several times.

I've had both Nav Traffic and Nav Weather on my 2730 Street Pilot but cancelled both.  The only time I use either is on the long trips and I know when I'm getting wet it's raining......don't need to stress about it ahead of time.

I will activate the Nav Traffic when we get ready to take a trip.  It's really helped several times when you get around the larger cities.  If I lived in LA or NY, I'd keep the subscription full time.

If I lived in either of those places, I'd move.    har.  spyder

Yes, navweather lays it out over a map & you can zoom out or in for more detail.

I didn't realize it had come down in price that dramatically. The Fisherman package for my 478 was $29.99 a month. Guess that is why they have discontinued that model. May have to be looking for a 665 in the near future.
