The Garmin GMI 40 is a compact marine instrument with a 4.3-inch touchscreen. It shows data from compatible devices on an NMEA 2000 or Garmin BlueNet network, and the gauge sets and page layouts can be arranged to suit. This pack comes with two displays, a gWind wired wind sensor and an Airmar DST820 52 mm thru-hull transducer for depth, speed and water temperature. A 25 m mast cable is included. Software updates are handled through the ActiveCaptain app.
Our take
Two 4.3-inch touchscreens in one pack means the same NMEA 2000 network can feed a second screen, and the gWind sensor and DST820 transducer are already in the box, so wind, speed and depth are covered from the start.
From our buying guide
A networked instrument display shows what its sensors put on the network. B&G says its Triton2 shows no reading for any data type missing from the network.
Check before you buy:
- The sensors for the readings you want are on your network.
- Your older gear can reach it, since gear that speaks NMEA 0183 may need a gateway or converter.
- You have the rest if you want to steer from it. B&G says steering from a Triton2 also needs a separate keypad, an autopilot computer and a drive unit.
