Garmin GMR Fantom™ 256 is Garmin’s most powerful 6-foot solid-state open-array radar, developed for large luxury yachts, offshore boats, and professional vessels where maximum range, extreme target identification, and all-weather navigation are essential. With a massive 250 W output power – equivalent to approx. a 15 kW magnetron radar – the Fantom 256 delivers a sharp, stable, and detailed radar image with exceptional precision.
The radar spans from 9 meters all the way to 96 nautical miles, so you can maneuver safely in tight areas and maintain a full overview on the open sea. The advanced MotionScope™ Doppler technology highlights moving targets in color, allowing you to instantly identify other vessels, hazardous situations, currents, and weather – or locate flocks of birds via Auto Bird Gain, which is perfect for serious fishing.
With automatic MARPA tracking, the system can automatically detect and track up to 30 targets, while Scan-to-Scan averaging reduces noise, interference, and sea clutter, making the radar image significantly calmer and clearer. Features like True Echo Trails, Dual Range, support for dual radar, Dynamic Sea Filter, as well as the option for radar overlay make the Fantom 256 a professional navigation tool that delivers maximum safety – even when conditions become extreme.
