## History

### Founding and initial growth: 1989 to 1999

In 1983, Gary Burrell recruited Min H. Kao from the defense contractor Magnavox while working for the former King Radio.[10] They founded Garmin in 1989 in Lenexa, Kansas,[2] as "ProNav".[10] ProNav's first product was a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit for boaters called GPS 100.[10] It debuted at the 1990 International Marine Technology Exposition, where it garnered 5,000 orders.[11] A short time later, in 1991, the company opened a manufacturing facility in Taiwan.[12]

The company was later renamed "Garmin", a portmanteau of its two founders, Gary Burrell and Min H. Kao.[13] In 1991, the U.S. Army became its first customer.[14]

In 1994, Garmin released GPS 155, the first IFR-certified aviation navigation system.[7] By 1995, Garmin's sales had reached $102 million, and it had achieved a profit of $23 million.[15] In 1996, the company headquarters moved to Olathe, Kansas.[2] A year later, Garmin sold its one millionth unit.[16]

In 1998, Garmin released the GNS 430 and StreetPilot.[17] GNS 430 was an integrated avionics system that served as both GPS navigation receiver and communications transceiver.[18] StreetPilot was Garmin’s first portable navigation system for cars.[17][19]

Founders Gary Burrell and Min Kao

By 1999, sales had reached $232.6 million[15] with a profit of $64 million. Garmin reported a 2006 total revenue of $1.77 billion, up 73% from $1.03 billion in 2005.[20][21][15]

In 2003, Garmin announced its G1000 integrated cockpit system, although it did not become available until 2004 when it received FAA certification.[24] It was first adopted by aircraft makers including Cessna and Diamond Aircraft, and was later installed as forward-fit and retrofit applications in regional airliners, business jets and turboprops, light airplanes, helicopters, and military and government aircraft.[25][24]

That same year, Garmin launched the Forerunner 201, a fitness smartwatch for runners that was the first wrist-based GPS trainer.[26]

In 2005, Garmin launched the nüvi series of compact car navigators, starting with the 300 and 350.[27] In 2006, Garmin released Edge, its first GPS-enabled cycling computer.[28] That same year, the company introduced a new corporate logo[29] and opened its first retail store, located on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.[30][31]

In 2007, the company introduced its first touchscreen marine chartplotters, the GPSMAP 5000 series, designed for international boaters.[32]

In 2011, Garmin released its first GPS golf watch, the Approach S1.[33] A year later, in 2012, the company released its fēnix adventure smartwatch, designed for outdoor sports and recreation.[34]

In 2014, Garmin released Vivofit, its first wearable fitness band with a replaceable battery and a battery life of over one year.[35][36] The Vivofit tracked a wearer’s steps and learned an individual’s activity level in order to adjust daily goals.[36] In 2014, Garmin also acquired the New Zealand company Fusion Electronics Limited and its subsidiaries.[37] After the acquisition, Fusion Electronics Limited, which sold integrated marine audio products and accessories, was renamed Garmin New Zealand Ltd.[37]

In 2015, Garmin launched Panoptix, the first sonar system to provide real-time live imaging for anglers.[38]

A year later, in 2016, Garmin acquired DeLorme, which gave Garmin DeLorme’s inReach satellite communication technology with interactive SOS messaging.[39][40] The inReach Satellite Communicator had been the first personal satellite communication device equipped for two-way text messaging using satellites.[39] In 2017, Garmin released their first devices made with inReach: the inReach SE+ and Explorer+.[41]

In 2017, Garmin released its first dive computer with surface GPS, the Descent Mk1.[42] The Mk1 also provided an altimeter and HR monitor, and used Garmin’s fenix 5X platform for everyday activity tracking.[43]

### Recent market expansion: 2018 to present

### Leadership

Cliff Pemble is the current CEO of Garmin.[26]

In October 2023, Garmin’s co-founders, Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao, were named to the U.S. National Aviation Hall of Fame class of 2024.[76]

Burrell retired in 2002 as Garmin's chief executive officer and in 2004 retired as co-chairman of its board of directors.[5][77] He remained chairman emeritus until his death in 2019.[5][77] Kao became CEO in 2003, and chairman in 2004.[78]

In 2005, Forbes estimated Kao's net worth at $1.5 billion. He has donated $17.5 million to the University of Tennessee. The same year Forbes estimated Burrell's net worth as $940 million.[79]

### July 2020 outage

On July 23, 2020, Garmin shut down its call centres, website and some online services, including Garmin Connect and flyGarmin, after a ransomware attack encrypted its internal network and some production systems. The company did not say it was a ransomware attack, but company employees writing on social media described it as such,[80] with some speculation about a ransomware strain called WastedLocker[81] later confirmed.[82] Hackers reportedly demanded a $10 million ransom from Garmin.[83] The company instituted a "multi-day maintenance window" to deal with the attack's impacts.[81] Some Garmin online services began to function again on July 27, 2020, though delays in synchronising data with connected applications were expected; Strava anticipated a delay of "a week or longer".[84] Experts speculated that Garmin had paid hackers a reported $10m ransom, or brokered some other kind of deal.[85][86]

The outage meant Garmin could not receive calls or emails, or conduct online chats.[87] Athlete users of Garmin wearables could not upload mileage, location, heart rate, and other data. Pilots were unable to download data for Garmin aircraft navigational systems, preventing flight scheduling.[81] Garmin said there was "no indication" that personal information had been stolen.[88]

#### United Parcel Service AT (Aviation Technologies)

In 2003, Garmin acquired UPS Aviation Technologies, including that firm's II Morrow Apollo line of aircraft MFD/GPS/NAV/COMM units. II Morrow had been founded in Salem, Oregon in 1982 as a manufacturer of LORAN C marine and general aviation products. In 1982 its aircraft navigator 602 LORAN C receiver permitted point to point navigation. Some examples of its LORAN units are Apollo II 616B Aviation LORAN panel mount (1986), II Morrow Apollo 604 Loran Navigator (1987) and Apollo 820 GPS Flybuddy (1991). In 1986, United Parcel Service (UPS) purchased the company to expand the use of electronic technology in the package delivery and tracking business.

II Morrow shifted focus from marine business to development of package process automation technology for UPS such as vehicle management systems, automated high speed package sorting systems, as well as delivery and tracking systems. In 1999, II Morrow was renamed to UPS Aviation Technologies, and re-focused towards modernizing UPS' Boeing 7xx series Heavy Iron Transport Category Aircraft fleet, as well it also re-entered the general aviation marketplace. It certified the first Gamma 3 WAAS GPS engine for FAA Certified Precision GPS approaches.[169] The new certified WAAS engine yielded vertical and horizontal accuracy of one meter RMS in guidance into airports without existing ILS approaches. This GPS technology met the FAA's TSO-C146a primary navigation standards for en route, terminal and approach phases of flight—with WAAS augmentation as the sole means of navigation. This primary GPS "sole source" navigation capability was integrated into the CNX-80. The CNX-80 WAAS GPS/COM/NAV integrated navigator was the first product in the industry approved for primary GPS navigation. It also enabled LPV glideslope approaches without requiring ground nav aids. New LNAV (GPS) approaches provide the accuracy and safety of an ILS—without the ground-based localizer and glideslope equipment.[170] Later, the CNX-80 was renamed the GNS-480, under Garmin.[171]

In 1999: Flight International magazine presented UPS Aviation Technologies with its Aerospace Industry Award for the development of ADS-B, a surveillance technology intended to reduce aviation delays while improving safety.[172]

Garmin Aviation offers electronically integrated cockpits for aircraft: panel mount displays, primary flight displays (PFD) and multi-function displays (MFD), transponders, radar, and other types of avionic systems. Garmin entered this market in 1991 with the GPS-100AVD panel-mounted receiver. Its first portable unit, the GPS-95, was introduced in 1993. In 1994, the GPS-155 panel-mounted unit was the first GPS receiver on the market to receive full FAA certification for instrument approaches. In 1998, Garmin introduced the GNS-430, an integrated GPS navigation receiver/communications transceiver. That same year, the company rolled out its first integrated GPS, COM, VOR, LOC and glideslope product, the GNS 430. More than 125,000 GNS navigators are now installed in aircraft. Garmin reached its one millionth delivery in November 2017.[173]

The G1000 is an all-glass avionics suite for OEM aircraft, the similar G950 is used in experimental aircraft, and the G600 is a retrofit.[174]

On October 30, 2019, Garmin announced that the Piper M600 and Cirrus Vision Jet would become the first general aviation aircraft certified with the company's emergency autoland system, which is capable of automatically landing the aircraft with the push of a button and will be a part of both aircraft's G3000 integrated avionics suite in 2020.[175] Garmin calls the new technology "Autonomí".[176] Garmin plans to equip other platforms in 2020, like the TBM 940, and hopes to eventually expand its offer to the G1000 avionics suite.[177] In June 2021, Garmin Autoland won the 2020 Collier Trophy.[178]

### Laptop GPS and mobile apps

In April 2008, Garmin launched Garmin Mobile PC, a GPS navigation software program for laptop PCs and other computers, based on the Microsoft Windows operating system, now discontinued.[179]

Garmin offers mobile apps for various purposes for Android, Windows Phone, and for iPhone.

## Sport sponsorship

In 2007 Garmin began sponsorship of English Premier League football club Middlesbrough in a one-year deal that was carried into a second year for the 2008/09 season.[180] In 2008 Garmin began sponsorship of cycling team Template:UCI team code to promote its Edge line of bicycle computers.[181] In 2015, the team became Cannondale–Garmin.[182] In 2014 Garmin paired up with Premier League side Southampton FC in a global partnership. Garmin's European head office is located in Southampton.[183]
