D2 charlie No NEXRAD data

Former Member over 4 years ago

While in US. The nexrad data worked fine but now I have travelled to Nepal Nexrad data is not working.

Wasn't it supposed to be world wide ? It says failed. Everything else is working fine. Is there any work around or alternatives to get weather data ?

I like Nexrad a lot.

I don’t think Nexrad coverage exists worldwide. It is limited to US, Canada, Australia, and some parts of Europe.

So why is it being sold off as " D2 Charlie aviator watch features real-time worldwide weather radar, as well as airport information that includes frequencies, runway information, weather data and more? "

is it not for D2 charlie?

Not defending Garmin in any way, but I am guessing they probably meant basic weather data. Do you know if weather radar exists for Nepal?

Yes we do! So NEXRAD is out of the question.

Would be nice if someone could tell me just how to get the basic weather data on the moving map ?

As I press the top right and lower left button I get " NO NEXRAD DATA".

Any way to substitute this to a basic weather sys ?

Glad to know that Radar coverage exists for Nepal. There have been way too many weather-related aviation accidents in Nepal. Have you tried connect IQ apps/widgets such this one?

Yes sir! Its a very scary place to fly esp some airports at higher elevation. The weather is just unpredictable

I have this exact app installed however i was looking for a native weather app and not a third party app because the weather doesn't show up in flight tracking.

I guess I am asking too much. Sad we don't have a next gen radar.

Thank you for your patience tho I guess i will just have to wait.
