Garmin - More than just navigation
Garmin Ltd. is a leading global manufacturer of navigation and communication devices and has built an outstanding reputation since it was founded in 1989 by Gary Burrell and Min Kao. The name ‘Garmin’ is made up of the founders' first names and is now synonymous with advanced GPS technology and innovation.
Garmin has achieved a leading position in the field of bike computers in particular. The Garmin Edge series is particularly noteworthy. These bike computers offer comprehensive functions for navigation, training analysis and real-time performance measurement. The current top devices not only enable precise recording of routes and performance data, but also offer functions such as incident notification, integrated Strava Live segments and detailed map views. With the integration of ANT+ and Bluetooth, various sensors, such as power meters and heart rate monitors, can be seamlessly connected and included in the training analysis. This makes the Garmin Edge series the first choice for both recreational and professional cyclists.
In addition to bike computers, Garmin has also developed a remarkable range of smartwatches and sports watches. The Forerunner series is aimed specifically at runners and triathletes. These watches offer detailed metrics for running analysis, heart rate measurement and GPS tracking. Another milestone is the Fenix series, which is characterised by its robustness and versatility. These multifunction watches are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and offer features such as TOPO maps, weather forecasts, barometric altimeter and many specialised sports profiles.
Garmin's continuous innovation and integration of the latest technologies set the standard in the sports and fitness segment. By focussing on user-friendliness, reliability and functionality, Garmin has established itself as an indispensable companion for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
