Odwolda Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Assuming Magellan got their name off Ferdinand Magellan, is there anyone Garmin got their name off of? Oh and if Magellan didn't get their name from Ferdinand, anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Garmin was started by Gary Burrell and Min Kao. Garmin is a concatenation of their first names. Quote Link to comment
