Anyone use Sirius/XM weather in the Bahamas?

() Wonder if it is much use there. I found it to be pretty good throughout the Lakes and eastern seaboard so far - lets you know when you are in the wrong place 
. Includes pressure maps, wind predictions, wave heights, even sea surface temps. But I'm sure its all automated, so maybe no better than GRIBs?
