Garmin: 20 Years of Units – Rise of the Portable GPS

By GPS


The movie above takes a look at 20 years of Garmin GPS hardware thanks to Frank, a long-time Garmin employee who “likes to collect history he can hold in his hands.” He started collecting antique radios in the mid-70s. Before he started his job in aviation engineering for Garmin in October 1995.

Of note is the ‘portable unit’ at 2.33 mins, with CTIA Wireless 2009 just kicking off in Las Vegas (they were setting up just as we were leaving) its really interesting to see how far technology has come in such a short period of time.

The movie above by Steel Blue LLC details various renditions created at different times of project proposals in the Rincon Hill and Transbay Districts of San Francisco. It comes with a few words of warning:

‘Segments of the video may show potential designs of developments that have been revised, put on hold or terminated. Massing location and heights of potential developments may not reflect future zoning revisions by City Planning. Refinement of our 3D San Francisco and future developments are in progress and we look forward to releasing future media. In the meantime specifics about individual project should be located on their respected official websites.’

That said, it is one of those movies to sit back and watch, it is really well done.

You can see more of Steel Blues output on their Vimeo channel.
