It is great, with the exception being the “Thunderstorms” layer, which is not what one would think it is.

I have tried to predict movement of wx by referencing the timeline slider and adding the movement between samples, in order to come up with what ‘should’ be the approximate real time position. In Florida, where I fly almost daily, it seems to get updated more quickly than I often see it out West.
The shot above was with the static images updating as they decided to. I have used XM and ADS-B weather out West and sometimes find the images not changing as you scroll through the time frames. Sometimes that’s the result of sketchy ground station reception, but the WX did it as well in the more remote areas. Anyway, all through that trip, I liked ADS-B for traffic, and SL for weather.

I also have global on my mini - installed on my sailboat but also shortly to add to my Cirrus. It was awesome to be able to get full internet offshore to the west of Vancouver Island in big winds with the boat being thrown about in heavy seas. The technology is amazing and I am astonished that it kept going as the anttenna was jerked arounf by the motion of the boat.
