Re: Garmin Zumo

LAS VEGAS/January 7, 2009/Business Wire - Garmin International Inc., a unit
of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation,
announced today the zumo 660, a new motorcycle device that integrates the
slim and sleek design of the nüvi® with specific features made exclusively
for motorcyclists. The zumo 660 was announced in conjunction with the 2009
International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas (Garmin booth,
South Hall 4, #35832).

"The zumo can change your entire experience of touring or everyday rides
because it helps you find amazing places to explore," said Dan Bartel,
Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "Whether you're charting your
own course or you plan your trip from your computer and download the route
to your GPS beforehand, your ride will be more enjoyable and stress-free
because you'll have peace of mind knowing the zumo will help you find your
way home."

Ideal for a weekday ride or weeklong trip, the zumo 660 has features
motorcyclists will appreciate like a 4.3" sunlight readable and customizable
touchscreen display, glove-friendly design with left handed controls and
oversized touchscreen buttons. The ruggedized and waterproof (IEC 529 IPX-7
standards) device comes loaded with detailed, street-level maps of the
United States, Canada and Puerto Rico that have over six million points of
interest including gas stations, lodging, restaurants, attractions and more.
The zumo 660 speaks street names so riders will receive turn-by-turn, voice
prompted directions, such as "turn right on Main Street," via the built-in
speaker or through a compatible Bluetooth helmet or headset.

The zumo 660 also comes equipped with advanced routing capabilities. Lane
assist with junction view guides riders to the correct lane for an
approaching turn or exit, and realistically displays road signs and
junctions on the route along with arrows that indicate the proper lane for
navigation. In some major metropolitan areas, surrounding buildings are
displayed in a 3D transparent view. A new multiple routing feature customers
can see a map preview of the proposed fastest route, shortest route and off
road route prior to choosing to navigate it. This capability gives riders
additional situational awareness before they begin their journey.

The zumo 660 also has enhanced Bluetooth Wireless Technology (A2DP) that
amplifies audio for a crisp sound, and makes it possible to receive and
place phone calls as well as receive navigational cues wirelessly to
Bluetooth enabled headsets or helmets. The zumo supports over 200 Bluetooth
enabled phones so riders can retrieve and dial numbers using a supported
phone's contact list or from the phone's call history log. A user can also
make calls from zumo's huge points of interest database.

While riding, it is easy to access trip information directly from the zumo's
trip information page like speed, heading, altitude, and a customizable fuel
gauge that can be modified to the motorcycle's maximum fuel range. If a
rider wants to leave the pavement for the trail, the zumo accepts Garmin's
MapSource® U.S. Topo maps for off-road navigation. Sharing rides with others
or keeping a detailed log of trips is also easy thanks to zumo Connect, an
online community of routes and riders. Zumo owners can also plan routes
online through Google or MapQuest and send the routes or points of interest
to the zumo before they begin their journey. In addition, riders can swap
routes and waypoints with other zumo owners via the unit's microSD card
slot.

Like other members of the zumo family, the zumo 660 has many security
features. The mount is designed to withstand the severe vibration
environment commonly experienced in motorcycle riding. The zumo also
includes Garmin Lock®, a unique theft prevention system that disables the
zumo from performing any functions until the user types in a specific
4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location. If the
user does not know the PIN or secure location, the zumo will be inoperative.

The zumo 660 is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2009 at
$799.99
