During a Q3 2009 business results presentation, Garmin revealed plans for a Garmin Android smartphone. The Business Update was presented by Cliff Pemble, President and COO of Garmin. In the update, it became apparent that Garmin is keen on the Google Android operating system.
With the announcement that Garmin is going to focus on Android, it seems that Garmin has taken a clear decision to consider Android as an open source system. The Android Operating System is actually a competitor for Garmins own operating system, but given the speed with which the Android hype has taken over the market, it is not unwise for them to join the bandwagon as well.

Garmin International, the global leader in satellite navigation, announced the introduction of the Garmin GPS 72H Marine Handheld with new, state-of-the-art features including a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, and a fast USB interface - all in an easy-to-use handheld that floats.

Since 2002, the Garmin GPS 72 has been the handheld of choice for the boater that wants a simple, rugged, and reliable navigator, said Dan Bartel, Garmins vice president for worldwide sales. Now, with a high-sensitivity receiver, boaters can acquire a GPS position fix quickly and easily.

Garmin intros the Dakota 10 and 20 handheld GPS navigators, packing a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, worldwide basemap and color touchscreen display into a compact, waterproof device with up to 20 hours of battery life. Lightweight, rugged and waterproof, Garmins Dakota GPS handheld devices quickly acquire and maintain satellite reception thanks to a accurate GPS receiver with HotFix, which calculates satellite info and can use that info to quickly calculate a GPS position.

The Dakota handhelds are the latest GPS devices from Garmin, which has spent 20 years using technology to enhance users lives, making Garmin a brand name in the automotive, aviation, marine, outdoor & fitness industries.
