Up-to-date
Weather
See real-time weather
displayed on the 478’s high-resolution 256-color sunlight-readable

and subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather. View vital weather data,
such as NEXRAD radar, storm cells, wind speeds, surface temperatures,

your game, pair the 478 with the GSD™ 21

box” sounder, which offers 4,000 watts of power peak-to-peak
(500 watts RMS) in a dual-frequency transducer (purchased separately).
