CAYMAN ISLANDS & TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE) - Jul. 24,
2009-- Garmin-Asus, a co-branded alliance between Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) and ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (TAIEX: 2357),
announced that the Garmin-Asus nvifone G60 will go on sale in
Taiwan on July 27, and in Singapore and Malaysia by the end of
August. Also in August, the Garmin-Asus nvifone M20 will go on
sale in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

"We can't wait for our customers to start using a nvifone,"
said Cliff Pemble, Garmin's president and COO. "Our lives are
all about location.

The nvifone is designed around that premise and that's what
differentiates it from the myriad of other phones on the
market."

"Whether it's talking and navigating simultaneously,
geotagging a photograph or navigating to an address on the web,
the nvifone seamlessly links navigation with other commonly
performed activities," said Benson Lin, Asus Vice President and
General Manager of Handheld Business Group.

The Navigation Phone

The Garmin-Asus nvifone series is a breakthrough product
line that integrates navigation and location based services
(LBS) like no other phone in the market today. It is ideal for
those seeking an all-in-one, LBS-centric touchscreen phone,
mobile web-browser and personal navigator. The nvifone G60 and
M20 have touchscreen displays that feature three primary icons "Call," "Search" and "View Map." Customers can easily scroll
through the other icons by swiping their finger across the
displays, and a built-in accelerometer allows every screen to
be viewed in either portrait or landscape orientation.

Navigate Wherever, Whenever

The nvifone G60 and M20 come with preloaded maps of North
America, Eastern and Western Europe, or specific Asia-Pacific
regions. Since the maps reside on the nvifone, customers will
receive turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions to millions of
destinations without accessing their carrier's data plan. The
nvifone G60 and M20 utilize a real GPS receiver with hotfix, in
addition to A-GPS (assisted GPS), so that customers always have
directions at their fingertips, regardless of if they are in
their provider's coverage area.

Just as with Garmin's acclaimed nvi product line, the
nvifone series has millions of preloaded points of interest
(POIs) including hotels, restaurants and street addresses. The
POIs can be easily accessed for turn-by-turn voice prompted
directions. If a turn is missed along the route, the nvifone
G60 and M20 will automatically recalculate a route and get the
user back on track. The nvifone also offers a "Where am I"
feature so that users will know their exact latitude and
longitude coordinates, nearest address, intersection, hospital,
police station and gas station with one touch of the screen.

And to help them find their car in an unfamiliar spot or
crowded parking lot, the nvifone automatically marks the
position in which it was last removed from the windshield
mount. The nvifone comes with a unique suction cup mount cradle
that fastens to the windshield and will also charge the device
while it is being used.

Connect and Communicate Although navigation is a key
component of the nvifone series, the devices do more than "just
navigate." Both the nvifone G60 and M20 incorporate
top-of-the-line phone capabilities with premium features such
as 3.5G data connectivity, SMS text messaging, email, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and more.

The nvifone G60 and M20 have a full HTML browser that
customers can easily zoom in or pan with their finger, and
pages may be viewed in either portrait or landscape. Users can
surf the web on their phone via Wi-Fi or 3G networks, and the
pages are presented similar to a PC browser.

Everything You Need

Customers will also enjoy the benefit of location-based
services seamlessly integrated with nvifone's intuitive user
interface and turn-by-turn navigation. Users can supplement the
preloaded POI data with Internet enabled local searches and
automatically navigate around traffic congestion while seeing
the estimated traffic delay along their route. Other services
include weather, gas prices, flight status, local events, movie
times, Ciao!and more (content pricing and availability may vary
by country).

The nvifone G60 and M20 include a built-in camera with
auto-focus. The camera automatically geotags images with an
exact latitude and longitude reference of where the image was
taken. The user may then save the image so they can navigate
back to the location or email the geo-tagged image to others.
The nvifone also provides direct access to millions of
geo-located landmark and sightseeing photographs available
through select picture sharing site, which are searchable and
are sorted by the distance from the current location.
