Welcome to Garmin Superstore

Garmin International Inc. is a member of the Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN) group of companies that designs, manufactures, and markets navigation and communications equipment for the aviation and consumer markets. Our products serve aviation, marine, automotive, wireless, OEM, and general recreation applications. Specifically, we aim to enrich the lives of customers, suppliers, distributors, and employees by providing the very best products that offer superior quality, safety, and operational features at affordable prices.

What started out in 1989 with a handful of dedicated engineers and a great idea for a product has grown into the Global Positioning System (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.

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.

Why Garmin ?

Garmin started designing GPS equipment in 1990 with a simple, yet profound, goal in mind: to make products whose innovation and convenience can help to improve the lives of our customers. Since then, we have developed breakthroughs in GPS technology to offer our customers convenient design, performance, and value in their GPS receivers, while supporting our innovative products with superior customer service.

Innovation

Garmin is the leader in GPS innovation. We established many "firsts" in the last decade�from landing the first non-precision approach using a general aviation GPS and putting the first GPS/VHF in the palm of your hand to introducing the world's smallest GPS for the outdoor enthusiast. We've discovered that by taking care of the cutting-edge technology, the firsts are taking care of themselves.

Convenience

We design our GPS units with the customer in mind. The simple operation, logical menus, smart features, and easy-to-understand instructional manuals of our units will make you a GPS pro in no time. Test our GPS units at a local Garmin dealer. Then try the competition's products. It won't take long for you to see why Garmin is the world's best-selling GPS.

Performance

Technology breakthroughs at Garmin have enabled us to develop GPS receivers that locate satellite signals quickly, maintain a lock on those signals, track your location wherever you go, and extend the life of your batteries. We have also built into our receivers the processing power that you need for instant updates, smooth scrolling, and real-time moving map capabilities. You'll find that our GPS receivers deliver the accuracy, quality, and reliability to get the most out of GPS.
