I believe the problem with your comparison is that the GXM 30 outputs
encoded information and is only compatible with certain Garmin
navigator GPSes. Your "mini-computer" will not know what to do with
the signals unless you write software to take the data and display
it. So you need the WX Worx, which does that translation for you
into a format compatible with a Windows computer.
What computer are you using, and have you tested it for interference
with your COM radios on all channels? I ask, because I'm going down
that same road with an 8" Lilliput display and an Epia single-board computer.

"Smart Antenna"? I need an XM receiver input to complete my
homemade nav system. I'm using a mini-computer and a dedicated 8"
LCD display along with AnywhereMap. The Weather Worx receiver is an
obvious option, but I just ran across the GMX 30 which "appears" to
have all the features I need for a lot less money. Am I missing
anything here???
