Garmin designs, develops, manufactures and markets a diverse family of hand-held, portable and fixed-mount GPS-enabled products and other navigation, communications and information products for the general aviation and consumer markets.
A display circuit characterized by a liquid crystal element sandwiched between two glass panels. Characters are produced by applying an electric field to liquid crystal molecules and arranging them to act as light filters.
Industry:Telecommunications
A grid of radio waves in many areas of the globe that allows accurate position plotting. Loran transmitting stations around the globe continually transmit 100 kHz radio signals. Special shipboard Loran receivers interpret these signals and provide readings that correspond to a grid overprinted on nautical charts. By comparing signals from two different stations, the mariner uses the grid to determine the position of the vessel.
Industry:Telecommunications
A U.S. standards committee that defines data message structure, contents, and protocols to allow the GPS receiver to communicate with other pieces of electronic equipment aboard ships.
Industry:Telecommunications
A NMEA standard defines an electrical interface and data protocol for communications between marine instrumentation.
Industry:Telecommunications
A Garmin-proprietary feature that allows the user to move the pointer and pan a track in either direction, then select a location along the track to start a TracBack® or GoTo, or to mark a waypoint.
Industry:Telecommunications
A committee created for the purposes of establishing standards and guidance for interfacing between radio beacon-based data links and GPS receivers, and to provide standards for ground-based differential GPS stations.
Industry:Telecommunications
A GPS receiver system that would allow the receiver to detect incorrect signals being transmitted by the satellites by comparing solutions with different sets of satellites.
Industry:Telecommunications
A serial input/output standard that allows for compatibility between data communication equipment made by various manufacturers.
Industry:Telecommunications
A Garmin exclusive technology which allows the various Garmin fishfinders to hear both weak and strong signals simultaneously so as to identify fish returns under the toughest conditions: suspended in thermoclines or even hiding near structures.
Industry:Telecommunications
The random error, which the government can intentionally add to GPS signals, so that their accuracy for civilian use is degraded. SA is not currently in use.
