Garmin

Officers working in the military and law enforcement know that having accurate location information at all times is critical. Luckily today, with Garmin GPS products, that task has never been easier. A worldwide leader with a long history of being at the forefront of navigation systems, this company has proven again and again that its products are second to none. Garmin products use the Global Positioning System (GPS) a navigation network consisting of a group of satellites put into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS works on a global scale, in all weather circumstances, 24 hours a day. Initially intended for military use only, it was authorized for civilian usage in the 1980s. Now anyone who needs information on where he or she is, what speed or direction he or she is going, or to find his or her way to a designated spot can turn to the global positioning system for help. Garmin GPS devotees appreciate the user-friendly designs that have been developed with the newest technology available. In addition to their state-of-the-art features, these products are also sought after for their topnotch quality, value received for the price, and streamlined designs. Products provide accuracy of a user's 3D location (altitude, latitude, and longitude) to within 15 meters on average, and the newest devices allow data transmission among different wireless devices. Soldiers have long used navigation systems to locate objectives and to organize supply and troop movement; officers working in law enforcement have recently begun shooting GPS tags onto fleeing suspects vehicles in lieu of a high speed chase.
