(GPSMAP2108 Applicable)
When you connect your chartplotter to an optional
Garmin marine radar such as a GMR 404/406 or a
GMR 18, you can view more information about your
surroundings. The Garmin marine radar connects
through the Garmin Marine Network and shares radar
data with all networked chartplotters.
The Garmin marine radar transmits a narrow beam
of microwave energy as it rotates in a 360 pattern.
When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some
of that energy is reflected back to the radar.
