Garmin Edge cycling computer

Garmin is a leading global provider of navigation and wearable technology. Originally founded in 1989 in Lenexa, Kansas, United States, by Gary Burrell and Min Kao, the company has grown into a powerhouse for GPS technology across aviation, marine, automotive, and fitness sectors.

While the brand has its roots in the United States, Garmin maintains a massive manufacturing presence in Taiwan, where the majority of its consumer electronics, including the Edge series of cycling computers, are produced. The company operates under Garmin Ltd., which is incorporated in Switzerland for tax and legal structures, though its operational headquarters remain in Olathe, Kansas. Garmin continues to be a publicly traded independent entity (GRMN on the NYSE), maintaining its position as a primary owner of its proprietary technologies and manufacturing facilities.
