Garmin® GLO™ Convenient GPS and GLONASS System Delivers High-Integrity GPS Ability to Cellular Devices
Garmin Worldwide Inc., a unit of Forerunner Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the world head in sat nav, today declared GLO™, a transportable GPS and GLONASS receiver which Garmin's industry-leading GPS technological innovation to cellular phones.
"GLO resolves that issue by utilizing two separate satellite tv systems and Garmin's industry-leading GPS technological innovation to offer the most precise and most regular place up-dates available for a cell phone in the cabin."
"As the first wifi GPS receiver with the ability to obtain alerts from both the Combined States' GPS satellite tv system and Russia's GLONASS satellite tv system, GLO provides the most complete satellite tv protection available," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's v. p. of globally revenue, "Whether you're driving through an city gorge or traveling an aircraft at any elevation, GLO guarantees that your cell phone preserves a powerful, efficient GPS indication."
When using both GPS and GLONASS satellite, the time it takes for the receiver to "lock on" to a place is (on average) roughly 20 percent quicker than using GPS alone. Furthermore, when using both GPS and GLONASS, the receiver has access to 24 more satellite than using GPS alone. This is particularly helpful for customers who need efficient sat nav in complicated surroundings such as deep canyons or city surroundings where a large part of the sky is clogged by powerful things.
GLO easily joins to Apple® and Android™ gadgets via Wireless bluetooth. It offers a 12 hour battery power and a place upgrade amount of up to 10 periods per second (update amount may be restricted by the coordinator device). This is 10 periods quicker than the inner GPS devices of most cellular phones.
For aviators, an unique GLO for Aircraft program is available, which comes with a install, power wire and a free six-month test of Forerunner Head, Garmin's aviation routing app for Apple and Operating system cellular phones, available in the App Store℠ and Google Play.
"GLO will be especially popular with aviators. Specialist such as Forerunner Pilot™ have further innovative the use of iPads® and other smart gadgets as routing resources in the cabin. But because the inner GPS devices in these gadgets are not enhanced for use in journey, the GPS indication can be less precise and slowly to offer up-dates," said Carl Hair, Garmin's v. p. of aviation marketing and advertising. "GLO resolves that issue by utilizing two separate satellite tv systems and Garmin's industry-leading GPS technological innovation to offer the most precise and most regular place up-dates available for a cell phone in the cabin."
GLO is predicted to be available in Aug at a recommended list cost of $99. GLO for Aircraft is available instantly at a recommended list cost of $129. For more information, visit www.garmin.com.
