Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced that for the second year in a row, it received the
honor of being the most recognized company in the marine
electronics field for its support of products in the field by the
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA). In addition to
Manufacturer of the Year, Garmin also received seven Product of
Excellence Awards in the following categories: autopilot,
multi-function display (MFD), mobile application—aid to navigation,
mobile application—utility, fishfinder, AIS, and multimedia
entertainment. The honors were announced at the prestigious 2016
NMEA Convention held last week in Naples, Fla.
“We are incredibly honored and humbled to yet again be
recognized as the Manufacturer of the Year by the NMEA, and to have
so many of our products and applications receive top honors,” said
Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “These
coveted awards are the result of our dedication to the marine
industry, and a true testament to our continued commitment to
design, manufacture, sell and support industry-leading
products.”
For the fourth year in a row, Garmin received an award in the
autopilot category for its GHP ReactorTM Hydraulic Autopilot with
SmartPump. The GHP Reactor was Garmin’s first recreational
autopilot system to utilize AHRS technology and boasts the
usability, installation flexibility, and many other features that
prove to be valuable for any vessel.
Garmin also earned accolades in the MFD category, another
consecutive honor. This year’s MFD award went to the GPSMAP® 8624,
a 24-inch all-in-one chartplotter that boasts the highest screen
resolution on the market. The GPSMAP 8624 comes preloaded with both
BlueChart® g2 coastal and LakeVü HD inland maps, and is fully
network compatible for support of radar, autopilot, instruments,
multiple screens, sensors, remote sonar modules, digital switching,
thermal cameras, and more.
Smartphone applications are essential tools for mariners in
today’s connected world, and Garmin’s mobile app offerings received
top honors yet again in these categories. Garmin BlueChart Mobile,
a route planning application with streaming weather capabilities,
was named the best mobile application aid to navigation; and Garmin
HelmTM, an application that allows mariners to view and control
their chartplotter from a smartphone or tablet, won for mobile
application utility.
Other Garmin products recognized include the GSDTM 26 black-box
sounder with broadband spread-spectrum signal technology in the
fishfinder category, and the AIS 600, a blackbox transceiver that
sends and receives vessel information and AIS target data in the
AIS category.
FUSION®, a Garmin brand, also won the new multimedia
entertainment category for the AV750 Marine Stereo System that
features a marine-ready DVD/CD player, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity
and much more.
