Garmin® Introduces New xHD2 Open-Array Radar Series

Adds Bird Mode, Dual Radar Support, Improved Sensitivity and More

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, today announced its next
generation of open-array digital radars – the GMR™ 424, 624/626 and
1224/1226 xHD2. Continuing to set the standard for open-array radars,
the xHD2 series offers brand new features and capabilities that provide
better precision, targeting and performance while transmitting power at
4, 6 and 12 kilowatts respectively.

“The new GMR xHD2 series of open-array radars truly encompasses all the
power, features and capabilities that a mariner needs in a radar
system,” said Dan Bartel, vice president of worldwide sales. “Whether
sport fishing, cruising or docking, the boater can rest assured that
these powerful scanners provide the clarity and reliability to show
what’s near the vessel or on the horizon.”

With every type of boater and angler in mind, the GMR xHD2 series of
open-array radars boasts performance and feature improvements, a high
level of reliability and continued ease of use. The powerful 6-foot GMR
626 xHD2 and 1226 xHD2 concentrate energy within a 1.1-degree horizontal
and 25-degree vertical beamwidth, offering pristine clarity, target
resolution and definition. The GMR 424 xHD2, 624 xHD2 and 1224 xHD2
focus within a 1.8-degree horizontal and 25-degree vertical beamwidth.
All new xHD2 open-array radars have a maximum range of 72 nautical miles
and offer the option of selectable rotation speeds of 24 or 48 RPM for
rapid and precise target updating.

Not only is the new xHD2 series significantly quieter than previous
generations, they now boast a dedicated Bird Mode that allows for the
boater to easily locate flocks of birds, thus providing the boater
better insight as to where fish may be congregating. Additionally, dual
radar support is introduced. With the capability of running dual xHD2
radars or xHD domes on board, the boater enables radar redundancy and
allows for more flexibility to view different ranges on independent
multifunction displays (MFD), chartplotters and combination units.

Dual range adds an extra level of security to the vessel and anyone on
board. With dual range, the mariner is provided simultaneous views of
both short and long ranges, allowing the ability to maintain what’s
immediately in the vessel’s path and what’s on the horizon. Without
requiring the boater to toggle between views, weather patterns, land and
structure can always be observed. Dual range is an available option for
the GPSMAP® 8000 series and the newly announced GPSMAP7400/7600
series.

Dynamic Auto Gain and Dynamic Sea Filter allow the xHD2 series to
perform at peak levels, no matter the boating environment. The radars
will continuously adjust to surroundings, water and weather conditions
to provide optimal performance while reducing excess noise and clutter.
Coupled with vibrant 8-bit true color, the boater receives a much more
precise and accurate representation of what weather patterns or
obstructions may be approaching.

Locate and track targets that might pose a threat for collision with the
xHD2 series. MARPA identifies approach and timing of nearby targets,
allowing the mariner to adjust the vessel’s route for safety. Alerts are
also given for when targets become dangerous or breach certain
proximities of the boat, keeping everyone on board aware of their
surroundings.

The new xHD2 series seamlessly integrates with compatible Garmin
chartplotters, combination units or MFDs, including our newly announced
GPSMAP 7400/7600 series.

The GMR 424 xHD2 has a suggested retail price of $3,999.99. The GMR 624
xHD2 has a suggested retail price of $4,799.99 and the GMR 626 xHD2 is
available for $5,599.99. The GMR 1224 xHD2 has a suggested retail price
of $5,799.99 and the GMR 1226 xHD2 is available for $6,599.99.

The GMR xHD2 series will be available Q1 of 2015. For additional
