Garmin Edge GPS Bike Computer

The image shows a Garmin Edge series GPS bike computer, housed in a red protective silicone case. Garmin is a technology giant originally founded in 1989 in Lenexa, Kansas, as ProNav. The company quickly became a leader in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for aviation, marine, automotive, outdoor, and fitness markets.

While Garmin is an American-founded company and has a large corporate presence in the United States, its manufacturing operations are heavily concentrated in Taiwan. The brand is currently owned by Garmin Ltd., which is legally incorporated in Switzerland but maintains its operational headquarters in Olathe, Kansas. This structure allows the company to maintain global reach while keeping its core research and development closely tied to its American roots.
