Garmin GMR Fantom 18X Radar

See what’s coming on your compatible chartplotter with the GMR Fantom™ 18x radar. When visibility is low and situational awareness is crucial, you need radar you can depend on. Get 50 watts of output power for long range and better target detection. Confidently travel at higher speeds — and detect boats approaching at high speeds — with up to 60 RPM rotation speed.

The power save feature lets you choose when you need more power or less, so you have power when you need it and can conserve it when you don’t. With timed transmit mode, you can even specify active and inactive times down to the second to help reduce power consumption so you can stay on the water longer than ever.

MotionScope™ technology helps detect moving targets and highlights them in different colours so you can navigate around other boats or severe weather.
