The first cellular marine-weather reciever on the market -- brings weather information directly to a compatible NMEA2000 Garmin chart plotter.

Anglers can purchase day passes by selecting "Buy Weather" on their chart plotters. Data includes live radar, wind speeds, sea-surface temperatures, wave height and more.

The Garmin GDL40 comes with a low-profile antenna and costs $311.46 (Amazon.com)
