Get the Garmin® G3X-perience at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, today announced that several G3X™
opportunities await experimental aircraft owners prior to and during the
2010 EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

  • Garmin is offering rebates of up to $3,500 on G3X single and dual
    screen system purchases made between July 1 and December 31, 2010.
  • G3X engine sensor kits are now available and shipping for popular
    Lycoming, Continental, Rotax and Jabiru engines. The G3X supports
    sensor types such as cylinder head temperature (CHT), exhaust gas
    temperature (EGT), oil temperature, fuel flow and more.
  • Garmin has significantly expanded its EAA AirVenture Oshkosh trade
    show exhibit and a centerpiece of the 2010 booth is the new “Area
    G3X.” Current and future G3X customers can meet with G3X-perts
    throughout the show, attend seminars offering education on electrical
    systems for kit-built aircraft, discover the best G3X configuration
    for their aircraft, and participate in free t-shirt giveaways (while
    supplies last).
  • In conjunction with EAA AirVenture, Garmin is hosting a “Show Us Your
    Panel” Sweepstakes. Customers are encouraged to upload a photo of
    their Garmin-equipped panel displaying any Garmin aviation product
    before August 31 and they will have a chance to win an aera™ 500
    portable GPS device. Complete sweepstakes rules are available at www.garmin.com/aviation/photos.

The G3X is a customizable PFD and MFD combination and features one, two
or three all-glass displays; magnetometer; ADAHRS (combined air data and
AHRS unit) and engine monitoring. Thanks to its building block design,
customers can create a high performance panel that is tailored to their
experimental or light sport aircraft. The G3X includes high-end,
G1000®-like features such as synthetic vision, integrated autopilot
interface, EIS display, XM WX Satellite Weather (optional), obstacles
and terrain data, IFR map mode, FliteCharts®, SafeTaxi® and AOPA Airport
Directory data. In addition, multiple G3X databases may now be
downloaded at one time, which simplifies the database update process.
