Garmin naming convention

[Vlad]

i wonder if garmin's next series of handhelds will use another state name like the colorado? maybe the utah, the wyoming or perhaps the oregon?

 

i guess we'll see.

I hope they use Idaho for the one that actually works.

Or use another river?

Another desert?

Another battleship?

Another Chevy truck?

 

Do we know for sure it was named after the state of Colorado?

Wouldn't an Idaho be a potato?

Perhaps they will call their smallest unit a Rhode Island, and their biggest one a Texas.

As for ones that actually work, I-da-no! At least Garmin engineers are Engineers and actually know what they are doing, well maybe not all the time but definately 1000% more than Magellan engineers.

Umm... They'd probably call their biggest one an Alaska. Yes, it's still a state.

How about a National Park Series?

As long as they don't confuse which state they are trying to tie the product to..... http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/16722424/detail.html

Meanwhile, you could enjoy a Baked Alaska!

 

Back OT, I think they will name it after a popular sea-creature:

Are you ready for the Garmin Plankton?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It leaves you drifting aimlessly in the currents.

What's "Baked Alaska" got to do with size?

 

Ya see, Texas Toast is big toast, and... oh, never mind. I hate having to explain the joke.
