The GMR 40 adds important
radar information to a system that already includes GPS, sonar, and XM WX
Satellite Weather data componentsmaking 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 Garmins 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 clutterwhich 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 networkwhich affords users the ability to
expand their boats system as needed. Boaters can connect a GPS antenna and one
remote network sensor (like the GMR 40) directly to the MFDor with the addition
of the GMS 10 Network Port Expander, users can connect multiple MFDs and
network sensors to the same network.
