Humminbird to Bring XM Satellite Radio’s Real-Time XM NavWeather™ Service to Anglers

EUFAULA, Ala. (July, 2008) – Humminbird has partnered with XM Satellite Radio to bring freshwater anglers the most current weather and radar images directly from their GPS chartplotter or fishfinder/GPS combination unit.

Humminbird’s new AS WX 1 weather accessory provides anglers with access to continually updating weather conditions from the XM NavWeather™ service. Compatible with color screen models of Humminbird’s 700, 900 and 1100 series GPS combo units, anglers can now view current radar images spanning the country.

XM NavWeather™ uses sophisticated Threat Matrix™ technology to track nationwide weather information for more than 20 different weather conditions, including precipitation, wind, lightning and full forecasts for more than 150 cities across the country, then scales and customizes this detail to the angler’s specific location.

“Almost every serious angler has had a day on the lake ruined by an unexpected storm,” said John Luther, product manager for Humminbird. “For the first time, inland anglers can have up-to-theminute weather information at their fingertips. With a radar summary image continuously updating, they can maximize their time on the water.”

Users subscribe to the service for $9.95 per month, plus a one-time $14.99 activation fee. Since use of the AS WX 1 tends to be seasonal, a flexible subscription plan is available to anglers wishing to pay only for months the service is used. Suggested retail price for the Humminbird AS WX 1 satellite receiver accessory needed to receive the service is $249.99 and available to consumers beginning in January of 2009.
