About Garmin GPS technology
Garmin was founded in 1989 by Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao, with a vision to revolutionize navigation through cutting-edge GPS technology.
Originally focused on aviation and marine markets, Garmin quickly expanded into a global leader in GPS-enabled devices for automotive, outdoor/fitness, dog training, and tactical use.
In the shooting and sporting community, Garmin has made a lasting impact with its precision-driven GPS units, ballistic calculators, and rugged wearable tech tailored for hunters, competitive shooters, and tactical professionals.
Devices like the Garmin Xero series, with integrated rangefinding and ballistic data, have redefined accuracy and efficiency in the field.
Whether navigating backcountry terrain, tracking movement during a hunt, or optimizing shot placement with smart technology, Garmin has become a trusted name for those who demand performance and reliability.
Today, Garmin continues to set the standard with innovative GPS solutions that support training, mission planning, real-time tracking, and outdoor navigation — empowering shooters and sportsmen to operate with confidence, precision, and purpose.
