Garmin GMR 1234 xHD3 4' Open Array Radar and Pedestal (12kW) (White)

Garmin GMR™ 1234 xHD3 4' Open-Array Radar & Pedestal – 12 kW (K10-00012-26)

Elevate your marine navigation with the Garmin GMR™ 1234 xHD3, a powerful 12 kW magnetron open-array radar, engineered for discerning offshore cruisers and serious anglers. Designed for reliability, clarity, and maximum situational awareness, this radar system combines cutting-edge imaging features with rugged hardware built for real ocean conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Up to 96 nautical miles detection range for long-distance target acquisition, while also resolving close-in contacts down to 20 meters
• Scan Averaging Technology filters sea clutter and interference — one of the first magnetron radars from Garmin to include this advanced noise reduction method
• Angular Target-Size Processing & Pulse Expansion automatically optimize echo shapes, delivering sharper and more intuitive object presentation at all ranges
• True Echo Trails display historical motion paths of vessels, eliminating relative motion distortions to help you identify potentially hazardous moving targets quickly
• Split-Screen Dual-Range / Overlay Mode lets you view two independent radar ranges side-by-side, and overlay one or both onto your chartplotter for seamless navigation integration
• Dynamic Auto Gain & Sea Filter intelligently adjust gain and sea clutter suppression in real time depending on conditions (calm, moderate, rough)
• Auto Bird Gain / Bird Mode to detect seabird activity—perfect for locating bait fish and enhancing your offshore fishing strategy
• MARPA Target Tracking supports tracking up to 30 targets (with required sensors), giving you collision avoidance functionality for crowded marine environments
• Guard Zone, Range & Bearing Cues, and Dual-Radar Support expand safety and redundancy options
• Silent, commercial-grade drive motor, engineered to withstand wind loads up to 100 knots (80 kt standard, upgradeable) for extreme marine durability

Why Choose the GMR 1234 xHD3?
This radar is tailored for boaters who demand precision, durability, and performance. Compared to earlier Garmin xHD (2) or other radars, the xHD3 introduces scan averaging, target-size processing, and dual-range overlay as standard—features that improve clarity and reduce false echoes, especially useful in challenging sea states or congested waters.

Whether navigating offshore transits, fishing offshore, or passing through tight harbor channels, the GMR 1234 xHD3 provides the sharpest situational awareness. Its robust design and advanced imaging ensure that you’re not just seeing the sea—you’re interpreting it with confidence.
