Garmin are pleased to present the GDL 40 - an affordable marine weather solution that brings on-demand graphical weather and radar data directly to a compatible NMEA 2000 Garmin chartplotter.

The GDL 40 communicates with nearby cellular networks signals to receive weather data from Digital CycloneSM, a leading weather provider and subsidiary of Garmin Ltd, and provides coverage for the US, Canada and Europe on a day-to-day basis, as needed. Once activated, users can purchase day passes from the device to begin receiving 24 hours of continuous weather data. Simply select the ‘Buy Weather’ option on the chartplotter to begin downloading weather data, including live weather radar, wind speeds/direction, sea surface temperatures, wave heights, local forecasts, country/marine warnings, lightning and more.

Annual and day pass fees apply and vary by country. In Europe, the first-year activation fee is included with the purchase of a GDL 40, and after that a nominal £9.99 annual fee keeps your weather account active. Once the GDL 40 is activated, customers can purchase day passes from the device for £4.99. RRP £199.99
