Garmin Covers the Waterfront With New Chartplotter Lineup Featuring
Pre-Loaded Cartography
Monday November 14, 4:05 pm ET

OLATHE, Kan., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International
Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN
<http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=grmn&d=t> - News
<http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=grmn>), today announced a new line of
chartplotter and chartplotter/sonar combination units that feature new,
highly-detailed pre-loaded cartography.


"Garmin's new line of chartplotters literally puts the world at boaters'
fingertips," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing.
"With Garmin's newly-enhanced marine cartography, mariners can spend
less time deciphering charts and more time enjoying their time on the
water. These new units offer a wide variety of display sizes and
networking options that will attract everyone from the weekend angler to
the dedicated offshore mariner."

The GPSMAP® 492 features built-in Marine Detail Charts of the United
States coastline, including Alaska and Hawaii -- utilizing elements of
Garmin's new BlueChart® g2(TM) technology. These charts provide
integrated maps for a much smoother presentation. BlueChart g2 has all
the detail of traditional BlueChart, but with 3D perspective, and richer
detail and content -- data like tides and currents overlaid on the
chart. Other chart features include shaded depth contours, port plans,
wrecks, restricted areas, and more.
