American Motorcyclist Association announces new member benefit: Discount on Garmin GPS Navigators, Products PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. and the global leader in satellite navigation, are pleased to announce a new benefit that allows AMA members to purchase Garmin products at discounted pricing. “The line between being lost or found is as thin as the edge of your map,” said AMA Director of Business Development Jim Moore. “With a Garmin GPS navigator, however, you never have to worry about riding off the edge, and now members of the AMA can enjoy this flexibility, freedom and peace of mind for less.” The AMA member benefit, which is available starting November 19, covers both Garmin navigation units and software. Garmin’s aviation product line is excluded. “Garmin makes some of the world’s finest GPS navigators, and the company’s zumo™ line is tailor-made for motorcyclists with a number of features designed with our needs in mind,” Moore said. “With these products naturally becoming increasingly popular with riders, it only makes sense for the AMA to partner with this great company to bring even more benefits to our members.” Added Mike Sheehan, Automotive and OEM Marketing Manager from Garmin: “In recent years, Garmin has made a concerted effort to expand into new areas, and thanks to their purpose-built design, unique features and top-quality build, our GPS navigator products are experiencing significant growth in the motorcycling marketplace. This exclusive membership benefit deal gives us another way to get our units into the hands of even larger numbers of dedicated motorcyclists — those of the AMA.” AMA members can use the discount up to twice in a calendar year. To take advantage of the offer, beginning on Nov. 19 AMA members can visit a landing page on the Garmin web site, at www.garmin.com/ama. The zumo navigators should be particularly popular with AMA members. Designed specifically for motorcyclists, they come in a rugged and ready-to-ride case with glove-friendly, left-handed controls, preloaded street maps and a sunlight-readable screen. The zumo navigators are shock resistant, fuel resistant, waterproof and vibration tested. An SD card expansion slot makes it easy to share maps or upload them to online mapping services, such as Garmin Connect™ at http://connect.garmin.com/zumo/. The top-of-the-line zumo 550 is Bluetooth ready and can connect to a Bluetooth-enabled headset to deliver navigation voice prompts wirelessly. The 550 also doubles as an XM satellite receiver and features text-to-speech technology for turn-by-turn directions with spoken street names. The Garmin product discount, which also covers the company’s extensive collection of maps, is just the latest in a long list of AMA member benefits and savings.
