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 360º pattern. 

When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some 

of that energy is reflected back to the radar.

 

WARNING: The marine radar transmits 

microwave energy that has the potential to 

be harmful to humans and animals. Before 

beginning radar transmission, verify that the area 

around the radar is clear. The radar transmits a 

beam approximately 12° above and 12° below 

a line extending horizontally from the center of 

the radar. Avoid looking directly at the radar, 

because the eyes are the most susceptible part of 

the body.

1.  When you power the network on, the radar 

warms up. A countdown is provided to alert 

you when the radar is ready. From the Home 

screen, press 

.

 

NOTE: As a safety feature, the radar enters 

standby mode after it warms up. This gives 

you an opportunity to verify that the area 

around the radar is clear before beginning radar 

transmission. The microwave energy transmitted 

by the radar can potentially be dangerous. 

2.  When the message “Ready to Transmit” 

appears, press or touch  .

3.  On the lower-right portion of the screen, select 

. A “Spinning Up” message 

appears for a few moments, then the radar 

begins painting an image.
