In fact, the entry I was going to write today is about two of its newest products, both now installed on Gizmo and both quite noteworthy. I, for one, am very confident that Garmin will continue to do very well in marine electronics without absorbing Raymarine. ![]() ![]() I suppose that Garmin, which recently made a very public bid for Ray, may be unhappy about this turn of events, but… Rota also told me that there are no plans to move or substantially change Raymarine operations, and that FLIR is very hopeful that it can continue to work closely with manufacturers like Furuno, Simrad, and Garmin in terms of integrating its thermal cameras into their navigation electronics. ![]() “We are all very happy here,” reads the email I just got from a contact at Raymarine, and that sure makes sense. The agonizing process of getting sold is over, and in the end they were bought (full announcement above here) by a strong company which is not a direct competitor but is “very serious about commercial and recreational marine.” That phrase, already demonstrably true, comes fresh from Lou Rota, FLIR’s VP for Maritime Business Development.
