Please direct all requests for videos, visits to our headquarters, Garmin® visits to your editorial offices, product loans, product purchases, additional information on Garmin International, or other special media services to our Media Relations department.

We have developed this program in an effort to get Garmin products in the hands of genuine members of the press who can effectively report on our innovations and review our products. We sincerely want writers and editors to see, touch, and evaluate our products for legitimate news coverage.

We have a limited supply of new products to consign for review. Therefore, requests for a consigned unit must be made in writing on corporate letterhead and must provide the following information (which can be mailed to Garmin Media Relations at 1200 East 151st Street, Olathe, KS 66062, or faxed to us at 913-397-8282):

1. Contact name and shipping address
2. What kind of news angle is being planned
3. How our products will be used in the story
4. When the story will run
5. If we can obtain a copy of the story
6. Credit card account information

Please Note: Garmin Media Relations now requires a credit card account with every request. We will use this information only if the loaned unit is not returned or is reported stolen or lost. Since we will need to replace the unit to effectively respond to other media requests for loaned products, we will bill the cost of the lost unit to the reviewer's credit card.

While we request that reviewers observe a standard 30-day loan period, we are flexible and will work to accommodate editorial deadlines and extended media projects. We simply ask that you communicate your need for a loan extension and return the products in the agreed-upon timeframe. This way, we will be able to meet the requests of other writers on our waiting list. The exact loan period will be provided in a confirmation letter accompanying the loaned unit.

For the sake of convenience, we request that members of the media utilize our address label (enclosed in the confirmation packet) to return the unit to Garmin Media Relations in its original packaging.

Only editors and reporters from bona fide news organizations may purchase certain Garmin products at a special discount in lieu of, or after, the consignment period.

Purchasing requests for Garmin products must be made in writing on corporate letterhead and must include the following information:

1. Credit card account information
2. The discounted price quote for the requested product
3. Shipping address
4. How media personnel intend to use the unit

These requests can be mailed to:
