Garmin(R) Rolls Out New Large Format Multi-Function Displays

OLATHE, Kan., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garmin International
Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today introduced a new
line of
big-screen multi-function displays (MFDs), designed for use in larger
yachts and powerboats -- the GPSMAP(R) 5X15 series and the GPSMAP 4X10
series.
"These new MFDs are as powerful as they are pretty to look at,"
said
Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "Their vivid,
big,
and bright displays catch the eye, but they boast plenty of cutting-
edge,
market-leading innovations as well."
The GPSMAP 5X15 series has a whopping 15-inch diagonal XGA (1024 x
768
pixel) sunlight readable touchscreen display. The touchscreen makes
navigating menus a snap because the "virtual buttons" change depending
on
the function -- and it also eliminates the need for "hard" buttons, a
valuable space saver. Garmin offers two models -- the GPSMAP 5015 with
an
enhanced worldwide satellite imagery basemap; and the GPSMAP 5215,
which
comes pre-loaded with highly detailed U.S. coastal charts and Explorer
Charts for the Bahamas.
