Garmin® Extends its Presence with Suzuki, Offers Navigation Package on 2012 Grand Vitara and SX4 Models

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today that its automotive OEM division will provide a connected and integrated navigation package for the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara and SX4 models. This new program features a navigator that will come equipped with Garmin’s nuLink!™, a feature-rich service that provides customers mobile access to Google™ Local Search and up-to-date local information, including weather, fuel prices, movie listings, flight status, local events, white page telephone listings and up-to-the-minute traffic alerts with PhotoLive cameras delivered across AT&T’s wireless network. The program extends the collaboration between Garmin and Suzuki, which first launched on the 2009 Suzuki SX4.

“We’re pleased to extend our collaboration with a powerful partner such as Suzuki by offering the latest in our award-winning in-car navigation technology, including a full variety of powerful real-time location-relevant content from Garmin’s nuLink! services,” said Matthew Munn, Garmin’s managing director, Automotive OEM.

“Consumers today expect access to real-time information when they’re on the go and delivering it across the AT&T wireless network through Garmin’s navigation package is a natural fit,” said Glenn Lurie, president of emerging devices, AT&T. “Providing real time traffic information through PhotoLive, current fuel pricing and local event information enhances the driving experience with valuable everyday content consumers can and will use.”

All 2012 Grand Vitara and select SX4 models will offer an exclusive Garmin navigation system which includes highly detailed maps of North America, which boast more than six million points of interest, as well as many cutting-edge features found in Garmin’s newest portable devices, including:

• nuLink! services – travel like a local with wireless online information like Google local search, traffic, weather, fuel prices, movie listings, flight status, local events and white page telephone listings.
• PhotoLive Cameras – see live photographic images of the road ahead and keep an eye on the traffic to avoid unnecessary delays.
• Voice Activated Navigation – speak commands and control the device with your voice, reducing driver distraction and allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel.
• Hands-free Calls – receive and place phone calls directly from the device thanks to its integrated Bluetooth wireless technology.
• Lane Assist – guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate.
• Junction View – realistically displays 3D road signs and junctions on your route along with arrows that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
• trafficTrends™ – recommends routes using historical traffic data and recurring trends that Garmin has collected about traffic in your area at any given time or day.
• myTrends™ – remembers your frequent destinations to predict your destination without you needing to activate a route, displaying your arrival time and best route based on relevant traffic information.
• ecoRoute™ – helps drivers stretch their dollars and conserve fuel by creating routes that are optimized for using less fuel.

The system is fully-integrated into the vehicle, which provides power to the unit as well as high quality turn-by-turn voice prompting through the vehicle’s sound system. Drivers can easily detach the unit for safekeeping or pedestrian excursions. The unit is also customized with a Suzuki splash screen and a preloaded database of Suzuki dealerships.

The first year of wireless data services from Garmin’s nuLink! is free, and after that, the subscription renewal price for data services is $60.00 per year. In addition, the first 30 days of PhotoLive is free, and the monthly fee after that is $5.99. Suzuki’s full line of model year 2012 vehicles is arriving in dealer showrooms now.
