Product Description

Garmin GMR 18/24 xHD3 Radar

Achieve strong magnetron scanning capabilities in a small Garmin dome radar. These compact 18" and 24" dome radars are equipped with advanced functionalities usually seen in larger radar arrays, providing excellent detection of traffic, obstacles, and weather to ensure safety and reassurance while boating.

KEY FEATURES

Garmin's magnetron radar now features a groundbreaking innovation: scan averaging technology. This pioneering approach effectively minimizes the impact of sea clutter and interference, resulting in clearer and more accurate displays of steady targets.

ADVANCED CAPABILITY

Sophisticated algorithms dynamically adjust the size and shape of on-screen objects to ensure optimal clarity and readability, regardless of the distance or scale (Angular Target Size Adjustment)

FASTER SCANNING ANTENNA

The scanning antenna can rotate faster, reaching speeds of up to 60 rpm, resulting in quicker target updates due to improved redraw rates.

TRUE ECHO TRAILS

An historical depiction of boat movements in the water is shown on the screen, eliminating the effects of relative motion to assist in promptly recognizing moving objects and possible collision risks.

DUAL RANGE WITH OVERLAY

Enhanced visibility with Dual Display - One radar antenna can deliver two chartplotter, allowing you to set and control different ranges for near and far targets. You can also superimpose one or both ranges onto a chart for a more comprehensive view.

DYNAMIC AUTO GAIN 

Automatic Gain Optimisation - The system intelligently adjusts gain levels to ensure optimal performance in various marine environments, including harbors, coastal areas, and open ocean waters.

RADAR OVERLAY

View superimposed images on the map display of your chartplotter (sensors required, available for purchase separately)

HIGH RESOLUTION RADAR

A high-resolution radar can identify distant targets using a narrow horizontal beamwidth and high antenna gain.

DUAL RADAR SUPPORT

Having dual-radar support enables backup capability and enables each screen to retrieve information from separate origins.

DYNAMIC SEA FILTER

Automatically optimizes radar sensitivity to compensate for varying sea states, ensuring clear images in calm, moderate, and turbulent waters.

AUTO BIRD GAIN

Find groups of birds near the water's edge where small bait fish are also expected to be.

MARPA TARGET TRACKING 

Enhanced Collision Avoidance - Monitor the movement of up to 30 nearby objects to reduce the risk of accidents, when paired with compatible sensors (available separately).

GUARD ZONE

Create a guard zone a safety perimeter and getting an alert when an object crosses into the zone.

RANGE AND BEARING CUES

Enhanced Navigation Aids - The system features adjustable range indicators and digital direction lines, enabling quick and accurate of distance and direction to ships and coastal landmarks.
