Garmin was founded in 1989 in Lenexa, Kansas, by Gary Burrell and Min Kao, and today has its global headquarters in Olathe. To accompany you on your rides, it makes Edge GPS cycling computers, Rally power meters, Varia radars and lights. A curious detail: the name Garmin combines the two founders’ names.
