G armin announced that its 2011 Consumer Electronics Show product line-up is one of its most diverse ever and is designed to emphasize the different ways GPS can be used across all facets of life. “We’ve always said that GPS can benefit everyone, but no single solution satisfies all people,” said Cliff Pemble, Garmin’s president and COO. “In the days when GPS was still in its infancy, we envisioned creating a wide range of products that would help consumers, mariners, and pilots pinpoint positions and navigate to destinations.
