Jobs?

I don't really have any contacts with them, but I know that they make 
more than just GPS units.  They were one of our toughest competitors in 
the aviation nav/com market when I worked for the old King Radio 
division of Allied signal.

As I understand it, when Honeywell absorbed Allied Signal, some of the 
old King Radio lines were sold off to Garmin.  This may have put them in 
an overstaffed position.  I have heard many stories about how well 
Garmin is run, so I would imagine that they would retain and reorganize 
rather than lay off.  This would make it tough to get on as there would 
not be many openings.

Keep trying, Garmin has a good reputation for being well and ethically 
managed, I am sure that it would be a good place to work.

much force as a 400-pound safe traveling at just 60 miles per hour.
