These SMA mosaic maps of NGC 3627 reveal a prominent nuclear peak, inter-arm regions, and diffuse, extended emission in the spiral arms. A velocity gradient of ${\\sim}400$-$450$ km s$^{-1}$ is seen across the entire galaxy with velocity dispersions ranging from $\\lesssim 80$ km s$^{-1}$ toward the nuclear region to $\\lesssim 15$ km s$^{-1}$ in the spiral arms.
