Y’all didn’t hear it from me, but look for a new lightning/convective activity sensor better than the 1980’s-technology WX-500 coming fairly soon to a dealer near you . . .

I have considered adding a wx-500 to whatever I choose for an EFIS but it really needs to be installed by someone with proper equipment to make sure they don't pickup interference, or worse nothing at all.

Although I learned to fly in Idaho where there was weather as well as high
terrain now almost all my flying is in the Southwest except for occasional
trips North. A trip from Reno to Yuma last Wed. afternoon (trying to get
home before the Presidential TFR Thursday) had me dodging much weather. My
Anywhere Map with XM weather worked very well. You can select various
weather displays but Nexrad, TAFS, and winds aloft are very useful in
flight. One very nice feature of ControlVisions's Anywhere Map is that the
cost of monthly updates is much less than most others and it does a good job
of driving my Navaid. The display is small but I mounted it on the side
instead of on the panel. For about $2K it's more than adequate for VFR
flying.

Heh, heh. That’s not my department . . . but I think it will be priced relatively aggressively for market penetration . . .
