Sirius Radio has really taken the world by storm. I have it in my truck and I don’t know how I ever lived without it. My I-pod has not been thrown under the bus so to speak, but the diversity of music and satellite technology in the Sirius product is sweet.
Did you know that Sirius is available on boats? Back Cove offers it’s radios as ‘Sirius ready’, meaning all that one needs is a subscription to the company and they are ready to start jamming Sirius Radio through their speakers. However this is not where the story ends.
Sirius also offers Marine Weather. Sirius gathers current and forecast information from WSI. Tons of information such as lightning, buoy reports, surface temperatures, and storm tracking is up to date and instantly accessed. The information is collected from satellites and displayed and/or overlaid on your display panel, or onto a laptop. My sense is that the product and application is not perfect yet, but very close. Once better integrated with companies like Raymarine and Furuno the sky will be the limit for Sirius. Also keep an eye out for Sirius satellite TV in the future (now only available in soccer mom style minivans).
