Now that I have a 7200 in hand and am starting to load it can anyone give me an eval of using the XM radio as add on.

Now I have a small XM receiver which I move to RV for trips.

Assume I need to add a subscription for another receiver but how about the pick up of the XM satellites. Presently I have a dash XM antenna I move about and if the reception is poor we just play CDs or MP3s from my cellphone via Bluetooth to radio.

Any thoughts on utility of 7200 with XM.

I would not need to subscribe to XM traffic or weather. If its bad WX is just get off the road and don't travel in congested area very much.

I bought the XM receiver but have not used it yet. My usage intend was mostly for the traffic warning and weather warning incorporated with the GPS routing. I usually connect my XM radio when we head out for extended trips so I have to wait for a couple of months yet to see how well the service works via the GPS
