What you can learn from Garmin’s recent outage
3 min readJul 29, 2020
On July 23 Garmin services stopped unexpectedly.
Many think of Garmin as a fitness watch manufacturer, but the company has many more services to offer — most notably in marine and aviation range. As Garmin went black the services we shut down as well; many pilots and captains were unable to download and update maps, with little to no information from Garmin itself.
