Raymarine E-Series Displays Now Deliver Real-Time Weather Forecasts from SIRIUS Satellite Radio's New Marine Weather Service. Raymarine, Inc., a world leader in marine electronics, today announced the availability of on-demand access to detailed weather forecast information from SIRIUS Satellite Radio via Raymarine's E-Series high performance multifunction navigation displays. This marks the first time that SIRIUS' satellite weather service has been integrated into marine electronics products. "We're pleased to launch the new SIRIUS Marine Weather service in conjunction with Raymarine," said Larry Pesce, senior vice president of services for SIRIUS. "Boaters across the country will now have access to high quality and comprehensive weather information available over Raymarine's E-Series products."

Available for purchase only in the U.S., SIRIUS Marine Weather Service coverage includes the 48 contiguous states, most of Canada, Mexico and waters extending hundreds of miles into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. A monthly SIRIUS Marine Weather subscription is required to receive forecasts onboard.

The SR100 weather receiver module for Raymarine E-Series is expected to be available in March 2006.

Any idea if the data will be available using some other interface? $1000 for that box seems hideously overpriced and it doesn't even do audio out. So it's another per-month hit? It's bad enough the onboard audio isn't based on a portable device (clarion's SIR-CL1) but now another one?
