- Company Profile:
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 system using transmitted and reflected underwater sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects or measure the distance to the floor of a body of water. This technology is used in Garmin fishfinders and sounder products.
Industry:Telecommunications
The received GPS signal is wide bandwidth and low power. The L-band signal is modulated with a pseudo-random noise code to spread the signal energy over a much wider bandwidth than the signal information bandwidth. This provides the ability to receive all satellites unambiguously and to give some resistance to noise and multipath.
Industry:Telecommunications
A unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards (1,609 meters) used in the U.S. and some other English-speaking countries.
Industry:Telecommunications
The act of going from one waypoint to another in the most direct line and with no turns.
Industry:Telecommunications
The proprietary Garmin feature which takes your current track log and converts it into a route to guide you back to a starting position.
Industry:Telecommunications
Fixes the GPS receiver’s map display so the current track heading is at the top of the screen.
Industry:Telecommunications
A device, much like a microphone, that converts input energy of one form into output energy of another. Fishfinders separate and enhance the information received from a transducer to show underwater objects.
Industry:Telecommunications
A method of determining the location of an unknown point, as in GPS navigation, by using the laws of plane trigonometry.
Industry:Telecommunications
The lowest region of the atmosphere between the surface of the earth and the tropopause, characterised by decreasing temperature with increasing altitude. GPS signals travel through the troposphere (and other atmospheric layers).
Industry:Telecommunications
The direction of the north pole from your current position. Magnetic compasses indicate north differently due to the variation between true north and magnetic north. A GPS receiver can display headings referenced to true north or magnetic north.
