LOVING THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Outdoor enthusiasts and athletes rely on Garmin recreational products for navigation, performance analysis
and even communication. Our Forerunner®fitness devices use GPS to continually update a runner’s pace,
distance and timing data. In 2005, we introduced the Forerunner 301, which adds heart rate, multiple sport
profiles and the ability to create and schedule workouts using Forerunner or the included Garmin Training
Center™software. Garmin’s acquisition of MotionBased Technologies has further enhanced our offerings to
fitness-minded customers. MotionBased, headquartered in Sausalito, California, operates a Web-based sub-
scription service that processes GPS data for performance analysis, online mapping applications and route
sharing. Now, as a subsidiary of Garmin, MotionBased will continue to grow their user base while comple-
menting our services and aiding product development efforts in this segment of dedicated consumers.
Hunters, hikers and other adventure seekers get navigation and communication capabilities in one with our
Rino®two-way radios. Rino’s patented location reporting feature allows users to send and receive location
data and even poll another user’s location, which can be important in emergency situations. New additions
to the Rino lineup for 2005 were the 520 and 530, which offer color displays, automatic routing and an
increased range of up to 12 miles. The 530, with built-in electronic compass and barometric altimeter, also
has a NOAA weather receiver. We also expanded our popular 60 series with two lower-end versions, the GPS 60
and GPSMAP®60, which offer all the rugged, high-performance capabilities of other units in the series,
minus the color display.
