| The GMR 40 adds important
radar information to a system that already includes GPS, sonar, and XM
WX Satellite Weather data components—making the
Marine Network one
of the most comprehensive marine navigation systems on the market.
Impressive Performance
The GMR 40 (4kW radome) features a narrow 3.6-degree horizontal and
25-degree vertical beamwidth, which delivers accurate target acquisition
and better penetration through rain and fog. It has a range of 36
nautical miles (nm). For fast and efficient presentation of radar
signatures, raw data is processed within the radome and presented on
Garmin’s GPSMAP®
3006C and
GPSMAP 3010C chartplotter/multifunction displays (MFDs).
Ease of Use
The GMR 40 features automatic and manual sensitivity and tuning
controls, including gain, sea clutter, and rain clutter—which allows
boaters to spend less time tuning the unit and more time navigating. The
unit also boasts selectable interference rejection, which mitigates the
effect of nearby radar transmissions.
Advanced technology
Once the GMR 40 is interfaced with a GPSMAP 3006/3010 MFD, it is
possible to overlay radar images on the charting to help reconcile radar
signatures with known objects. Users can view "radar only" or split the
display for multiple views of radar and charting.
To aid in collision avoidance, the unit also offers MARPA (Mini
Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) capability, which allows boaters to track
the bearing, course, speed and predicted closest approach (by both time
and distance) of up to 10 targets. MARPA functionality requires GPSMAP
3006/3010 MFDs and an optional heading sensor.*
Marine Networking
The GMR 40 communicates with the Garmin Marine Network through a
waterproof 100-megabit plug-and-play proprietary network—which affords
users the ability to expand their boat’s system as needed. Boaters can
connect a GPS antenna and one remote network sensor (like the GMR 40)
directly to the MFD—or with the addition of the GMS™ 10 Network Port
Expander, users can connect multiple MFDs and network sensors to the
same network.

water.
