Premium inReach Weather: Dark Sky

I see in the news that Apple bought Dark Sky. According to the reports, Apple is beginning to restrict or block third party apps from accessing Dark Sky data starting with just about anything Android, and now they are picking away at other apps using the Dark Sky API. I have been amazed at how spot on the inReach Premium weather has been on my Explorer, and now the 66i. I'm assuming that Dark Sky still powers the inReach weather. I haven't checked for a month or so. Anybody have any information on the future outlook for inReach premium weather?

Good question. I was asking myself the same question. At the moment, it is still dark sky on my 66i. I hope Garmin will give us some informations about that soon.
