Relatively cheap is a very relative statement.  I think the GDL 49 costs
about 5 times the price of the WxWorx receiver ($3,495 vs. $695).  Other
problem with the Garmin is the time delay for the Nexrad information, that
it is a request system, and that requesting Nexrad info in one location will
wipe out the Nexrad data in any area you had previously requested- ie
looping is more difficult and slower.

Garmin is supposedly working on the GDL 69, which is supposed to a be
dramatic improvement over the GDL 49.

-- Garmin GDL 49.  It does about the same thing you are talking about but
it displays the info on your 530 or 430.  The receiver is relatively
cheep and the monthly subscription price is the same.
