OLATHE, Kan.–(Business Wire)–
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global
leader in satellite navigation, today announced the GPSMAP 62 series of rugged
outdoor handheld devices, bringing a sleek updated look, new mapping options and
many technical innovations to a product line beloved by hunters, hikers and
geocachers of all ages.

“The GPSMAP 60 series has been one of our most popular product lines, and the
new GPSMAP 62 series improves the form and functionality to make a best-in-class
device even better,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin`s vice president of worldwide
sales. “Whether you`ve been using Garmin for years or are buying your first
handheld, GPSMAP 62 is ideal as it combines our new breakthroughs in outdoor
recreation technology with the comfortable feel of an old favorite.”

Boasting a 2.6″ sunlight-readable color display, up to 20 hours of battery life
and a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and quad helix antenna for unparalleled
reception, the GPSMAP 62 series features three distinct waterproof models to
suit various activities and interests. The basic GPSMAP 62 includes a built-in
worldwide basemap with shaded relief. The GPSMAP 62s adds a 3-axis
tilt-compensated electronic compass and wireless connectivity for sharing
routes, tracks, waypoints and geocaches between other compatible Garmin
handhelds. GPSMAP 62s also includes a barometric altimeter that tracks changes
in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. Users can also plot barometric
pressure over time, which can help keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
In addition to these key features, GPSMAP 62st includes preloaded 100K
topographic maps for the entire United States (or preloaded 50K topographic
mapping of Canada for the Canadian version). Coverage on GPSMAP 62st includes
major trails, urban and rural roads, interstates, highways, coastlines, rivers
and lakes as well as national, state and local parks, forests and wilderness
areas. In addition, you can search for points of interest by name or proximity
to your location and view descriptive details for terrain contours, topo
elevations, summits and geographical points.

To help each user maximize the mapping potential of Garmin handhelds, each model
in the GPSMAP 62 series is compatible with Garmin`s subscription-based BirdsEye
Satellite Imagery, the free online community at Garmin Connect as well as
Garmin`s free Custom Maps utility for transferring paper or digital maps onto a
compatible handheld.

Geocachers can help the environment and be more efficient by going paperless
with the GPSMAP 62 series, quickly downloading cache information directly to the
device. Each model stores and displays key information such as location,
terrain, difficulty, hints and description, so that you don`t have to tote
printouts with you. Learn more about geocaching, getting started and going
paperless at www.garmin.com/geocaching.

Subscribers to BirdsEye Satellite Imagery can use BaseCamp software to quickly
transfer high-resolution satellite images to any Garmin GPSMAP 62 device and
seamlessly integrate those images into the handheld`s maps to get a true
representation of the surroundings. More details can be found at
www.garmin.com/birdseyesatimagery.

Customizing maps for your Garmin outdoor handheld has never been easier. Through
a few simple steps, Garmin`s Custom Maps can bring the details, labels and
landmarks of your existing paper or electronic map to a product in the GPSMAP 62
series, or a compatible Garmin Oregon, Dakota or Colorado. Compatible with both
PC and Mac, this free utility complements the myriad of mapping products already
offered for Garmin devices, including City Navigator®, NT for turn-by-turn
directions on city streets, Blue Chart® g2, for marine charting, and TOPO U.S.
24K and 100K map software for incredible terrain detail (each sold separately).

Experiences will live on long after the activity has ended, thanks to Garmin
Connect (http://garminconnect.com), the free-to-join online community of more
than 20 million activities for sharing, storing, analyzing and enjoying at
garminconnect.com. Outdoor and fitness enthusiasts alike can share activities on
Facebook and Twitter, export to Google Earth or relive the activity in table
view, calendar view or on a variety of maps including our new embedded Google
Earth view.

Each device in the GPSMAP 62 series has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with
HotFix, which automatically calculates and stores critical satellite information
and can use that information to quickly calculate a position. The GPSMAP 62
series is made even more versatile through its universal mounting system that is
compatible with the same accessories as Garmin`s Oregon, Dakota and Colorado
products. Other key upgrades include photo navigation and onboard memory for
downloading maps. GPSMAP 62 and GPSMAP 62st models also feature high-speed USB
for faster map transfers with your computer, as well as a 3-axis
tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows the user`s heading even when
standing still, without the need to hold it level. In addition to the preloaded
topographic details for the entire United States, GPSMAP 62st features 500 MB of
available built-in memory. GPSMAP 62 and GPSMAP 62s are ready to be customized
to fit any user`s activity, thanks to 1.7 GB of onboard memory.

The GPSMAP 62 series represents the latest breakthroughs from Garmin, which has
spent 20 years developing technologies and innovations to enhance users` lives,
making Garmin a household name in the automotive, aviation, marine, wireless,
outdoor and fitness industries. For more about features, pricing and
