Overview:
The GMR™ 41, pack power, range,
high-definition targeting, and plug-and-play connectivity in a space-saving
24-inch low-profile radome. The GMR 41, a sleek X-band digital color radar with
a 36 nautical mile range, features a narrow 3.6-degree horizontal and 25-degree
vertical beamwidth for the clearest target definition in all weather conditions.
Digital Performance
Unlike competitive designs, which require a
dedicated display/processor unit, all Garmin radar processing takes place in the
radome — via a digital signal processor. Data is presented on Garmin’s
Marine Network GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter/multifunction displays (MFDs).
The result: greater efficiency and redundancy, since any chartplotter on the
network can display and control the radar. Digital processing also allows for
more precise recognition, enhancement, and filtering of radar echoes — making
the finished display easier to read and interpret.
Easy to Use
The GMR 41 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 Features
As an aid in locational awareness, GMR 41 radar
images can be overlaid on your moving map chartplotter display. In addition, you
can configure your display by splitting the screen to show overlay and standard
radar simultaneously.
To aid in collision avoidance, the GMR 41 also
offers Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) 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 a
GPSMAP 3000 series MFD and an optional heading sensor.
Plug-and-play Connectivity
The GMR 41 communicates with the Garmin Marine
Network through a waterproof 100-megabit plug-and-play proprietary network —
which gives you the ability to expand your boat’s system as needed.
The Garmin Marine Network can provide vital
situational awareness data like GPS, radar, sonar, and near real-time graphical
weather data and audio channels directly on the GPSMAP 3000 series MFDs with a
subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather and Radio. |
