| Garmin GPSMAP 640 Description |
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.
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.
