GPSMAP 640
It's
an amphibian navigator. With
the Garmin GPSMAP 640, you’ll get a full-featured
marine chartplotter and an on-the-road navigator that comes ready
to go with preloaded BlueChart® g2 data and City Navigator
NT road maps for North America. The GPSMAP 640 comes standard
with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and brilliant, high-resolution
touchscreen display so you’ll always know the way whether
you’re on land or at sea.
Note:
The GPSMAP 620 is available without
preloaded maps, XM Traffic and auto mount.
Powerful
and Portable
Featuring
a marine and an automotive mode, a high-sensitivity GPS receiver,
and a rugged case with waterproof (IPX7) design, the GPSMAP
640 is ready for your next outing. The GPSMAP 640 effortlessly
shifts gears between marine and automotive modes. When supported
by the marine mount, you’ll
have at-a-glance access to your marine data. And when placed
in the automotive mount, the automotive mode is automatically
activated and the GPSMAP 640 becomes a robust street navigator.
Designed to Shine
With
a brilliant 5.2-inch WVGA touchscreen display, and an intuitive
interface, you’ll have everything you
need to navigate with confidence. The GPSMAP 640 comes preloaded
with BlueChart g2 data and other surface features as well as
City Navigator NA maps that include coverage maps for the United
States, Puerto Rico and select parts of Canada.
Stay in the Know
The
GPSMAP 640 can receive XM WX satellite weather data in marine
mode and XM NavTraffic information in automotive mode with
optional GXM 40 antenna and XM subscription. With all that
information at your fingertips, you can avoid bad weather at
sea or traffic tie-ups on the road. The GPSMAP 640 also supports
XM audio so you’ll always have music to enjoy while you’re
on the go.
By Sea
In
marine mode, the GPSMAP 640 brings you tides and currents,
depth contours, navaids, port plans, marine services and points
of interest (POIs) via preloaded BlueChart g2 marine data.
And with optional BlueChart g2 Vision cards, you’ll get 3D ‘mariner’s
eye view’ above the waterline and ‘fish eye view’ below
the waterline. You’ll also benefit from Auto Guidance technology
that searches chart data to suggest the best passage. The GPSMAP
640 is also NMEA 0183 compliant, so it can be easily added to
an existing marine network.
By Land
In
automotive mode, the GPSMAP 640 announces street names with
spoken turn-by-turn directions pulled from the preloaded City
Navigator NT road maps for North America. And route planning
has never been easier. Whether you’re searching for boat
shops or bait shops, you’ll be able to plan the quickest
and most efficient route. You can also create custom points of
interests (POIs) and set up proximity alerts to let you know
what’s in your path as you travel down the road.
