XM Radio/Weather Slow to Load

Anyone using optional XM Radio/Weather/Traffic service on their Garmin?
I've got a Zumo 550 with XM but load time is very very slow; sometimes20--30 minutes!
Any tips or ideas?

Mounted on my Harley Ultra Classic, XM receiver installed inside fairing according to H-D instructions. Once loaded, it works fine.

Re: XM Radio/Weather Slow to Load

I did not know that XM Weather service was available for automobile units.

I know that it is available for my Garmin 3210 Chart Plotter (with an addon module) at a significant monthly charge.
