Garmin is a world leader in satellite navigation and GPS technology. Since it was established in 1989 Garmin has been creating pioneering products to appeal to a wide range of customers. These include motorists, motorcyclists, outdoors and fitness enthusiasts as well as leisure users in the aviation and marine markets.

A strong engineering heritage has made Garmin's name synonymous with technical innovation. Over the past decade Garmin has been at the forefront of cutting-edge GPS technology and has led the way in setting industry standards. All Garmin units are made to be as user-friendly as possible. With simple operations, logical menus, smart features, and easy-to-follow manuals, each product is built to be intuitive and fun to use.

Garmins technological innovations have enabled the company to develop GPS receivers that locate satellite signals quickly, maintain a lock on those signals, and track location wherever the user goes. In-built high performance processing power ensures receivers provide prompt updates, smooth scrolling, and real-time moving map capabilities.

Tarka and Katie-Jane have used Garmin GPS units since their very first adventure. They have the utmost respect and trust for Garmin products and can count on them to allow accurate positioning of themselves high in the mountains, out on the vast oceans and while navigating a monotonous empty expanse in the Gobi desert. Garmin units also come into their own, when the team are uploading their position to the expedition website map, allowing website users to follow the journey with absolute accuracy.
