New nuvi, zumo customers eligible for free map update
Within 60 days of new device activation
OLATHE, Kan.--(Business Wire)--
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today its nuMaps
Guarantee, which will ensure that new owners of select Garmin personal
navigation devices (PNDs) receive the most updated map available.
"Garmin strives to make sure that our customers have the most
current and up-to-date maps. As roads and points of interest change,
we work closely with our map provider, NAVTEQ, to continually update
our databases," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide
sales. "Now, when a customer starts using their new Garmin, they can
be assured that their unit will have access to the latest version of
road maps."
"We're pleased with Garmin's efforts to make the freshest, most
accurate map data available to its customers," commented Cliff Fox,
Senior Vice President, Map Division at NAVTEQ. "Our research indicates
that portable navigation device users are more satisfied with their
systems when the map data is up-to-date."
After a customer purchases a new nuvi or zumo PND, they can check
to see if they are eligible for a free map update simply by
registering their unit at http://my.garmin.com within 60 days of the
first use of their new PND. If new map data is available anytime
during that 60-day period, the user can request and download the new
data, free of charge, by following simple online prompts.
The nuMaps Guarantee program will begin on October 15, 2008.
Anyone who first used their new nuvi or zumo PND on August 17th or
later will be eligible for a free map update - provided their unit is
registered with Garmin and a new map is available within 60 days of
the unit's first use.
