Navigation systems company Garmin is aiming for a 20% share of the European market this year, according to Reuters.


Garmin is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and its principal subsidiaries are located in the United States, Taiwan and United Kingdom. It conducts business in four segments – marine, aviation, outdoor/fitness and automotive, but one of its primary goals for 2006 is to increase awareness of the brand in Europe. Europe accounted for US$316m turnover out of a total company turnover of US$1.03bn in 2005.


Garmin is expecting its automotive business to expand 60% in 2006.


A company representative told Reuters that a lawsuit that it has brought against rival TomTom for breach of patent is open to a settlement.
