The Company
Established in 1984 as Navionics®, Garmin® Italy Technologies produces electronic charts for the leisure boating market.
We were born from a revolutionary idea: the world's first electronic chart display, or chartplotter. Now we use location services every day on our mobile devices, and maybe even take them for granted. But, think about it: how pioneering is that? This state of mind is what the Company is founded on and our focus for future goals. Our cartography is available to boaters for use in GPS chartplotters, and within our app for Apple® and AndroidTM devices.Our head office is based in Viareggio, Tuscany, the perfect starting point for reaching nearby cities of art, beaches and mountains.
With over 19,000 associates in 34 countries around the world, the Garmin® group brings GPS navigation and wearable technology to the automotive, aviation, marine, outdoor and fitness markets.
At Garmin®, we like to work hard and play hard. It comes easy when you work on cool products with hard-working individuals who share the same passion. We think every day is an opportunity to innovate and a chance to beat yesterday.
