Short profile:
Garmin is the World’s leading mobile navigation device company and a global manufacturer of in-car sat navs, portable navigation devices, handheld GPS units, and GPS products for the marine and outdoor sectors.
Garmin’s number one position was confirmed by a leading independent technology market analyst firm, Canalys:
"Garmin is again the global leader in personal navigation device (PND) sales. It increased its worldwide market share in 2008 and this trend is continuing into 2009 according to the latest figures.
Garmin's PND shipments grew by 42% year on year, a solid performance in a market that is now feeling the effects of slowing consumer demand. Market conditions in 2009 are undoubtedly tough, but the stronger vendors are well placed to benefit while others will struggle."
Detailed description:
What started out in 1989 with a handful of dedicated engineers and a great idea for a product has grown into the GPS leader - both in sales and critical acclaim. From the time our first GPS handhelds supported the Coalition forces in the Gulf War to our current reputation as the first name in GPS innovation, Garmin has helped to take GPS to new heights by going beyond the ordinary features and performance found in typical GPS receivers. We even make a GPS-enabled dog tracking system to show you where your hound is at all times and a golfing GPS that will measure shot distances and tell you where the hazards and greens are.
Today, Garmin has a diverse product line and distributors in virtually every part of the world. We have built and sold millions of GPS receivers. While our immediate success has resulted from developing innovative products for a variety of markets, our long-term success is based on our commitment to support our customers after the sale. We are winning over our new customers with quality products, tremendous value, and superior service, and we are working to turn them into loyal Garmin supporters for many years to come.
