Singapore/ November 21, 2012 - Garmin Corporation, a unit of Garmin Ltd., the global leader in satellite navigation, today introduced its latest product lines in Asia market, including new top tier personal navigation device, nüvi 3560LM, innovative GPS golf watch, Approach™ S3, and running watch, Forerunner 10, at SITEX Show.

“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. The company has embraced this vision for over 20 years and today we’re a unique and innovative location technology provider spanning a diverse group of markets. We’ve developed products that make the global positioning system easy for consumers to use and those products encompass numerous activities -- driving, running, cycling, hunting, flying, and boating, just to name a few.”
Top Tier GPS Navigator
The company’s newest leading personal navigation device (PND) debuts in Asia, the nüvi 3560LM including the most premium features available on any device such as the Guidance 3.0 navigation engine, voice-activated navigation and compatibility with Garmin’s latest Android™ application, Smartphone Link. “The nüvi 3560LM offers it all, from the stylish form factor and large display to the most premium capabilities like voice-activated navigation and Smartphone Link compatibility,” said Tony An, Garmin Asia Marketing Director. “What’s more, all of these features are included with the purchase of the device, so customers don’t have to worry about any additional costs, fees or subscriptions.”
Guidance 3.0
The nüvi 3560LM features the Guidance 3.0 navigation engine, which provides a faster, more intuitive user interface to enhance the speed and accuracy of searches and routing. For example, you can just easily type in any keyword or address with InstaSearch and quickly find out the destination from now on. Garmin redesigns the interface with Quick Search List that enables you to search the points of interest directly. The latest version of One Shot Address Entry technology brings the voice activated navigation to the next level. It’s faster, smarter and more accurate than ever.

Guidance 3.0 also includes myTrends™, the ability for the nüvi to automatically remember frequent favourite route destinations and predict the destination without the user needing to activate a route. Meanwhile, it comes with upgraded map interface. You will be surprised to see Point Of Interest icons on the maps and no need to page through menus. Having trouble finding the parking around you? Guidance 3.0 will automatically provide parking information near your destination.
Smartphone Link
The nüvi 3560LM is also compatible with Garmin Smartphone Link, an Android app that provides unique Garmin services to the PND. Smartphone Link creates a seamless navigation experience between the nüvi and an Android smartphone allowing them to communicate and share data. Among other functionalities, the app lets nüvi users add services such as weather information and send locations/ addresses to their navigation device, utilizing the smartphone's mobile data plan.
The nüvi 3560LM includes Bluetooth and enabled with free lifetime map updates, voice-activated navigation, and Smartphone Link support.
