Ok, Guys:
Please save me from the "didn't you search" comments. If you are aware of a link that answers my questions, just simply post it please.
I have a Garmin 496. If you are familiar with these it has of course navigation, but also has live doppler weather radar overlay to the navigation. It also has XM radio, but since I already have it in my truck, it stays mute on the radio function but it is required to have the entire package for the device to work (so I am told) - hence the radio function is redundant.
Here is the question: These units even used fetch a pretty high dollar from pilots looking for them (getting harder to find). Mine is in perfect condition.
I have, however gotten used to the weather function and have even used it while off road during severe weather season to know when it was time to pack it in! (used it a great deal last year while camping in remote NC during what had to have been one of the rainiest seasons ever!)
Is there anything offered on the iPad mini that can come close to replicating what I have in the Garmin 496? Nav with weather overlay?
Thanks for any help and feedback.
