It was a Garmin GPS unit. Seems it's all the rage these days to have Garmin put a company's logo on one of their GPS units for sale via that company. Don't get it myself, but then that's marketing.

Well... I think that Escort and Garmin may have collaborated on the GPS for 9500i.

Interesting the relationship is over.

Not likely, if you are brave enough to open the 9500i and examine the GPS assy, you'll see that the GPS module is a Jupiter30. That isn't made by Garmin, its an SIrf OEM product I believe.

OOPs, it isn't SIrf, it's made by NAVMAN. The module uses an SIrf GPS chipset. Check at navman.com.

I doubt Garmin makes the GPS circuitry. I was thinking more consulting and Engineering.

Have you opened a Garmin to see that a Jupiter30 is not used ?
