Garmin GMR Fantom 54 Radar - Black | Open-Array Marine Radar with MotionScope Technology

GMR Fantom 54 Radar - Black

This open-array radar highlights moving targets in color and gives users excellent close- and long-range target detection even in fog or rain.

Features:

• Know whats coming. MotionScope technology shows targets in color as they move closer or away


• GMR Fantom brings the power (50 watts of it)


• Get high resolution without wasting energy, thanks to pulse compression


• Add even more detail to maps with radar overlay even in a split-screen view

High-Powered Radar

This 50-watt radar has a range from 20 to 72 nautical miles, even in fog or rain. It offers rotation speeds of 24 RPM for reduced power consumption and 48 RPM for fast screen updates.

High-Resolution Radar

The 1.8-degree horizontal beamwidth provides a high-resolution image and high antenna gain to pick out even weak targets at a distance.

Motionscope Technology

MotionScope uses the Doppler effect to detect moving targets and highlight them in different colors so users can navigate around other boats or severe weather or toward fishing spots where birds feed at the surface.

Intuitive Operation

This radar doesnt have any complex user settings to deal with, so its easy to install and start using.

Target Size

Adjust the size of objects on the radar image.

Auto Bird Gain

Locate flocks of birds at the waters surface where baitfish are also likely to be found.

Echo Trails

A historical trail is left on the screen to help users quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.

Dual Range

A single radar antenna is capable of providing split-screen images on the chartplotter for both close and long range.

Dual-Radar Support

Using dual radar provides redundancy and allows each display unit on the boat to pull data from one of two different radar sources.

Dynamic Auto Gain

Gain automatically adjusts levels to optimum settings for harbors, near shore, and offshore in open waters.

Dynamic Sea Filter

Gain automatically adjusts sea clutter for calm, medium, and rough sea conditions.

Radar Overlay

Overlay radar images onto a chart plotters map page. Users can add an optional autopilot or heading sensor (sold separately) for best results.

MARPA Target Tracking

Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) tracks up to 30 selected targets, helping users keep track of other vessels and avoid collisions.

Guard Zone

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

VRM EBL

Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic bearing lines (EBL) allow rapid measurements of distance and bearing to vessels and land.

The Garmin GMR Fantom 54 Radar offers advanced open-array radar capabilities designed for serious boaters and mariners seeking reliable long-range detection. With a power output of 50 watts and a maximum range of 72 nautical miles, this radar performs well even in challenging weather conditions such as fog or rain. Its high-resolution 1.8-degree horizontal beamwidth and high antenna gain enable the detection of weak targets at great distances, providing clear imagery and situational awareness. The radar's dual-range functionality allows split-screen views for both close and long-range targets, enhancing navigational safety and decision-making.

Equipped with MotionScope technology, the Garmin GMR Fantom 54 detects moving targets by utilizing the Doppler effect and highlights them in different colors based on their movement relative to your vessel. This feature is particularly useful for spotting other vessels, potential hazards, or even bird activity that may indicate fishing opportunities. The system’s auto bird gain setting helps locate flocks of birds on the water surface, further assisting in fishing navigation. Echo trails leave a historical path of moving targets, making it easier to identify potential collision risks or track vessel movements.

Designed for ease of use, this radar is straightforward to install and operate without complex settings. Features such as adjustable target size, auto gain, and dynamic sea filter automatically optimize performance in various conditions. The radar overlay feature allows users to project radar images directly onto chart plotter maps for seamless situational awareness, especially when combined with optional autopilot or heading sensors. MARPA target tracking supports monitoring up to 30 vessels, aiding in collision avoidance, while guard zones can be set to alert you if objects enter designated safety areas. Variable range markers and electronic bearing lines provide rapid distance and bearing measurements, enhancing navigation precision.

Constructed with durability in mind, the Garmin GMR Fantom 54 is waterproof (IPX6) and built to withstand winds up to 80 knots. Its versatile support for dual radar sources and support for dual-range imaging makes it suitable for both coastal and offshore applications. Whether you’re navigating through busy harbors or exploring open waters, this radar delivers high-performance detection and tracking to keep you safe and informed on the water.
