See Targets, Not
Your Radar
The GMR™ 21, along with 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 21, a sleek
X-band digital color radar with a 24 nm 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 21 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 21 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 21 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 21 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.
