We believe the strengthening GPS navigator portfolio positions Garmin well to expand presence in the booming GPS tracking device market, which is riding on increasing commercial vehicle fleet.

Per a report from Zion Market Research, the global GPS tracking device market is expected to witness a CAGR of 11.8% over a period of 2019-2025 and achieve $4.6 billion by 2025.

The latest move bodes well for the company’s growing efforts toward expanding the GPS navigator portfolio.

Apart from the latest launch, it recently unveiled a new series of oversized dezl of truck navigators — dezl OTR700/800/1000 GPS navigators. In addition, the company launched an all-terrain GPS motorcycle navigator, zumo XT, in a bid to strengthen navigation offerings. In case of an untoward incident, the navigator is well equipped to provide automatic incident notifications to family and friends of the rider.

Its robust portable navigation devices for all road vehicles, including automobiles, motorcycles and trucks, remain noteworthy.

Worldwide provider of navigation, communications and information devices, Garmin has been making efforts to increase its share in all markets served backed by new products and upgrades to the existing ones. It is experiencing notable success in all segments owing to many newly added technologies that are gradually expanding and enabling the company to enter new categories.
