Just giving a little information regarding the Weather reports with both the Garmin Tread Overland and Sirius XM Travel Link.
The Garmin Tread Overland will be a two part deal. These parts will cover the Tread Weather and the InReach Weather. Both have their Pro's and Con's. Regardless they are helpful.
For starters we will go to the Tread Weather App. This is only going to be available if you have your cellphone connected to the Tread GPS with the Tread App on the phone. You also have to have Cell Service for it to work. Without cell service you will be out of luck, but thankfully there is no subscription charge to use this feature.
For the Tread Overland you will be able to find the Weather Icon in the lower left corner of the home screen.

As you can tell it will give you a basic temperature report for the current time along with the expected high and low. Click that icon and it will take you to the Weather home screen.

From there you get simple 6 day forecast for the current area you are in. Clicking each day will give you more details of the High's and Low's for the day. As you can tell there are icons for the Radar, Conditions and any local Alerts.

Starting with the Radar you get a nice little view of the map with a past time of what the weather is doing. If I remember correctly it shows the past 45 minutes to hour. Though it is a short window, it is enough to show what the Weather is doing

Next is the conditions tab. This simply lets you know what type of conditions an area might be dealing with. This includes strong winds, dense fog, wet areas from recent rain or snow and ice from a recent winter storm. That said I feel it could be off as both Kansas and Wyoming are clearly supposed to be highlighted in Yellow for High Winds.

Last is the Alerts Tab. This will give you all sorts of different alerts for different areas. For example you can see a bunch of Fire Weather Warnings due to it being dry and windy lately.
From just this it's like having a portable version of the Weather Channel without having to open the Weather Channel on the phone. Too bad it only works when the cellphone has cell service.
