Garmin GPS

            Garmin, as stated on their website is a company founded on principles of innovation, convenience, performance, value, and service. Garmin’s goal is to create navigation and communication devices that can enrich our customers’ lives. Garmin embraces lifestyles by designing quality global positioning systems from aviation to marine, automotive to fitness, and wireless solutions to outdoor recreation.
            Garmin’s innovative new technology is never ceases. Just recently Garmin released its latest product the G500H. The G500H is an all-glass avionics system designed specifically for the helicopter market. This is a necessary product for flight due to the main risk of collision because of improper navigation. Garmin has also teamed up with AT&T (an exclusive carrier) of the new Garmin Nuvifone. The navigational phone includes features such as text messaging, making calls, sending your locations, flight status, avoiding traffic trouble, and navigating from SMS.
            Garmin’s new automotive GPS Nuvi 1200 is ultra-thin with preloaded street maps, voice speaking street names, optional MSN direct, FM lifetime traffic, and photo navigation. For trucking Garmin has created a specific GPS unit for precise routing and a preloaded NTTS breakdown directory. There is lane assistance and Bluetooth capabilities.
            Not only does Garmin offer GPS for those who are avid runners or cyclers but it has a new approach to navigation for even golfers. The new Approach G3 is a GPS-enabled golf handheld with a 2.6 inch screen. It is lightweight, rugged, waterproof, preloaded with U.S. golf courses, touch-targeting, manual pin positioning, digital scorecard, and has a high sensitivity receiver. For those who are more inclined to fishing the Garmin GPSMAP 720 is a standalone chartplotter with built-in radar port, 7 inch touch screen, worldwide basemap and XM weather and radio compatibility. Garmin has products for fishfinding and sounding as well.
            The Garmin Astro is a high sensitivity GPS-enabled dog tracking system. The Astro pinpoints your dog’s position and show exactly where he is, even without visibility. It comes with a rugged, all-weather DC 30 collar.
