I also have XM built into the G1000 - more importantly I was after all the fancy weather stuff so I contacted them.

In essence the response was:-

"The Satellites we have will not cover Europe and we have no plans to launch a service in Europe"

I then did some more research and interpreted it as:-

"go away we are having a hard time get a return in the usa"

There have a lot of competition in the US that they were not expecting when the business plan was put together. This was over a year ago so it could change, but I think it would require major investment for a small market here in Europe.

If anyone knows any different then I will be pleased to hear.

PS. I have never had a signal here in Europe (more precisely Scotland - South Of Spain)
