Garmin(R) Simplifies Searching, Sending and Navigating to Locations through
Google Maps

LAS VEGAS, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International Inc., a
unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation,
today announced that users can now send locations found on Google Maps(TM), an
innovative online mapping service, directly to their Garmin personal
navigation device.

"Given the amount of time we all spend at a computer or in our cars,
teaming with Google Maps gives users the versatility of planning their travels
at their keyboard in addition to their Garmin device," said Dan Bartel,
Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "There's no need to waste time
printing, scribbling or e-mailing locations and directions when you can use
Google Maps to search for and save everything you need with just a couple of
clicks."
The process is quick and easy. Users begin by searching Google Maps for a
specific business or a broader category -- "Kansas City barbecue," for
example -- and the results will appear on a map. The desired location can then
be saved directly to the Garmin device through the Send-to function. This
reduces delays, including delays that can be caused by intermediary software,
so that users can immediately resume their search for more places or get in
their car and go.
"This is part of our ongoing effort to connect Google services like Google
Maps with Garmin products," explained Giorgio Scherl, a product manager for
Google. "We continue to add progressive features, such as user-generated
content, to make Google Maps more compelling and useful in an increasingly
mobile world."
The Send-to-Garmin feature is available at Google Maps, as of April 1.
Garmin will have information about Google Maps and other new announcements
available at garmin.com and at its CTIA Wireless trade show booth (#6639) in
Las Vegas, Nevada, April 1-3, 2008. To learn more about using the new
Send-to-Garmin feature, visit http://www.garmin.com and
