The GMR Fantom 54 solid-state radar with 50 W of power uses MotionScope technology to detect and highlight moving targets in different colors, which helps you avoid potential collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather. It includes Pulse Compression technology that provides high-resolution imaging and maximizes energy to help you detect and identify targets. It has a detection range of 20 to 72 nautical miles.

High-power 50W Radar with Narrow Beam

You get excellent close- and long-range target detection from as close as 20 to 72 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. The narrow horizontal beamwidth provides a high-resolution image, and the high antenna gain picks out weak targets at a distance. This radar paints a clear, concise image of the shoreline, other vessels and impending weather right on your Garmin chartplotter. Get consistent target positions, excellent target separation that helps you distinguish large targets from small ones and adjustable rotation speed for fast screen updates.

MotionScope Doppler Technology

GMR Fantom uses the Doppler effect to detect and highlight moving targets to help you avoid potential collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather formations. The Doppler effect is the frequency shift in the radar echo due to the relative motion of the target. This allows for instant detection of any targets moving toward or away from the radar. MotionScope highlights the moving targets on the radar display so you can navigate around other boats or severe weather or toward fishing spots where birds are feeding at the surface.

Echo Trails

A fading trail is left on the screen to help you quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats. Trails are corrected for your boats rotation when an autopilot or heading sensor is connected to your Garmin network.

Auto Bird Gain

Where there are birds on the waters surface, there are fish below it. Auto Bird Gain helps you locate flocks of birds at the waters surface where baitfish are likely to be found.

Dynamic Auto Gain and Sea Filter Settings

Dynamic Auto Gain automatically adjusts to your surroundings for optimal performance in all conditions. Dynamic Sea Filter automatically adjusts gain to changing sea conditions with user options for low, medium or high filtering.

Target Size

You can increase the size of targets on screen to help differentiate from noise, or reduce the size to sharpen shoreline details.

Dual Range with Radar Overlay

The single radar antenna can display radar images on your chartplotter map page side by side, with independent range settings and controls for both close and long range. One or both ranges can also be viewed as a chart overlay. An autopilot or heading sensor is recommended for best results.

MARPA Target Tracking

Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) tracks up to 10 selected targets, helping you keep track of other vessels and avoid collisions.

Dual Radar Support

This provides redundancy and the ability for each display unit on the boat to select data from 1 of 2 different radar sources.

Guard Zone

Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.

Easy Interpretation

Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic bearing lines (EBL) allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land. It fits the selected radar range to the vertical size of your display to show more forward-looking radar returns on screen and make it easier to interpret target distances.

Easy to Install and Use

All our radars are designed to be easy to install and easy to use. There are no complex user settings to adjust; just install your radar, and start using it. You can rely on the GMR Fantom radar to provide reliable, optimum performance in all conditions.

The Garmin GMR Fantom 54 is a high-powered 4-foot open array radar designed for serious boaters and professional mariners. Featuring 50W of solid-state power and advanced MotionScope Doppler technology, this radar detects and highlights moving targets with distinct color coding to help you avoid collisions, locate flocks of birds, and monitor weather patterns effectively. Its pulse compression technology offers high-resolution imaging, maximizing energy to ensure clear target identification even at extended ranges from 20 to 72 nautical miles. The GMR Fantom 54 seamlessly overlays radar data onto your Garmin chartplotter, supporting both single and split-screen modes with independent range controls, providing versatile situational awareness for navigation and fishing.
The narrow beamwidth combined with high antenna gain delivers exceptional close- and long-range detection, making it reliable in fog, rain, or other challenging conditions. This radar produces a detailed shoreline and vessel image, enabling precise navigation and collision avoidance. MotionScope Doppler technology employs the Doppler effect to detect moving targets instantly, highlighting them to facilitate quick decision-making. This feature is especially useful when navigating through busy waterways or stormy weather.
Echo trails, which fade over time, help identify moving targets and potential risks, with corrections made for boat rotation when connected to autopilot or heading sensors. The Auto Bird Gain feature enhances fishing by locating surface bird flocks, indicating the presence of baitfish below. Dynamic Auto Gain and Sea Filter settings automatically adjust gain based on environmental conditions, optimizing radar performance at all times. Target size adjustments allow users to differentiate targets from background noise or sharpen shoreline details as needed.
Dual range capability with radar overlay enables simultaneous close and long-range views, with independent settings for each range, and can be displayed directly on your chartplotter. MARPA target tracking supports monitoring of up to 10 vessels, aiding in collision avoidance, while dual radar support provides redundancy across multiple data sources. The Guard Zone feature sets safety perimeters and issues alarms if objects breach these zones.
For ease of use, the Garmin GMR Fantom 54 includes variable range markers and electronic bearing lines for quick distance and bearing measurements, with display adjustments to enhance forward-looking radar visibility. Installation is straightforward, with comprehensive hardware and cables included, ensuring reliable operation in all marine environments. This radar system is ideal for navigation, collision avoidance, and fishing applications, providing a comprehensive radar solution for demanding marine operators.
