The GDL69™ is a remote sensor that receives broadcast weather data from a service of XM Satellite Radio and delivers the data to Garmin’s popular avionics systems. This highly reliable, near real-time weather information is transmitted to industry-leading products such as the G1000™, G900X™, G600™, GMX200™, GNS 530™, and GNS 430™.

XM Satellite Radio and its XM WX Satellite Weather service operate in the S-band frequency to provide continuous uplink capabilities at any altitude throughout North America.
