OLATHE, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced that for the second year in a row, it received the honor of
being the most recognized company in the marine electronics field for

Convention held last week in Naples, Fla.

from a smartphone or tablet, won for mobile application utility.
