Jake’s Journal: Options abound at Outdoor Retailer
from Garmin Blog
After spending the week in Salt Lake City at the summer edition of Outdoor Retailer, my head is spinning for all the right reasons. In talking with dozens of journalists who cover topics ranging from running to paddleboarding, cycling to skiing, hiking to hunting, camping to kayaking, it's clear that Garmin has products and mapping solutions for every outdoor activity with the versatility to seamlessly transition from one hobby to the next.
When discussing outdoor recreation, I pointed to the various options available in GPS handhelds. Many people are huge fans of the intuitive touchscreen interface in our Oregon and Dakota families, while others prefer the easy-to-use buttons of the new GPSMAP 62 series (or the GPSMAP 78 series for those who need it to float). Hunters, hikers, kayakers and cachers alike all appreciated the preloaded topography in the GPSMAP 62st and Oregon 550t, and the Oregon 550t's preloaded camera with automatic geotagging sparked ideas for many adventures. For hunters, our Astro dog-tracking system and new DC 40 collar helps them keep an eye on their dogs at all times - what they're doing and where they're going. All of these different customers can appreciate BirdsEye Satellite Imagery. Using this subscription service for high-resolution photo-based imagery, we were able to zoom in on the area around the convention center and even see individual parking spots, so it was easy to imagine the applications in the great outdoors.
As for fitness, the new Forerunner 110 continues to steal the show. With high-sensitivity GPS and a low-profile build (and a low price to match), the 110 is perfect for people wanting to know how far and how fast they're going in real time. For those who want even more data at their fingertips, Forerunner 310XT remains a favorite. Waterproof and versatile, Forerunner 310XT features up to 20 hours of battery life, vibration alerts and the ability to track the distance and average speed of an open-water swim (thanks to a recent software update). And on the cycling side, Edge 500 is the sleek and affordable solution for tracking real-time speed, distance, elevation, heart rate and power (with ANT+ power meters).
In the end, all of these conversations made me very excited to get home, go for a run, head out for a ride and start planning a vacation to the mountains. But first I have to make it through a Friday...
