Garmin Offers Bundled, More Affordable Pricing for Aviation Databases for the GPSMAP® 496 and GPSMAP 696
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, announced a new bundle pricing
program for the GPSMAP 495/496 and GPSMAP 695/696. These new bundled
database options will save customers up to 50 percent annually on
database updates.
“The GPSMAP 296 was our first portable GPS to have multiple databases
that could be updated. It was introduced in 2004 and was a breakthrough
product at the time because it had terrain and obstacle data,” said Gary
Kelley, Garmin’s vice president of marketing. “As technology has
improved, we’ve been able to offer customers additional information like
FliteCharts®, SafeTaxi® and the AOPA Directory. We recognize that many
customers rely on these databases for safety of flight and convenience,
and the new bundled pricing packages make it easier for budget savvy
pilots to keep all databases up to date.”
Databases have been bundled into several
different packages.
Garmin anticipates adding other product database bundles in the future.
The GPSMAP 695/696 and 495/496 bundled database packages will be
available beginning the week of Sun ‘n Fun 2010, April 13-18, 2010, at www.fly.Garmin.com.
