Key Takeaways:

The WX-500 is a Stormscope unit that integrates its weather information onto existing cockpit displays (e.g., GTN, GNS, MX-20) instead of having its own dedicated screen.
This integration allows pilots to superimpose Stormscope weather data directly onto their moving map displays alongside their route.
Combining weather, route, and moving map information on a single display significantly enhances a pilot's situational awareness.

The WX-500 is basically a WX-950 without a display. Instead, it puts Stormscope information on a display you already have installed, such as a GTN-650/GTN-750, GNS-430W/GNS-530W, GNS-430/GNS-530, MX-20, GMX-200, KMD-150, etc.

This allows you to combine the weather, your intended route, and the surrounding moving map. Superimposing the weather on this display is a big jump in situational awareness.
