I am not sure about the satellite compass that Garmin provides but the SCX20 from Furuno is superior to a normal GPS sensor, because it is receiving information from more satellites, it provides pitch and yaw for information for your AP (reported by analysts and marketed by Furuno) and the radar stabilizes to the chart, so in rougher seas the radar overlay does not move off of the chart it is supporting.

I can’t speak to the weather instrument other than have heard the Sirius weather isn’t all that useful. That is east coast folks reporting that, where you are seldom out of cell range. Many folks on the forums I engage with who are traveling the rivers, gulf, and east coast subscribe to a couple or three internet weather apps for their info.

I would like to see the analysis you received from Garmin also.
