Garmin’s GPS sends a signal to Serenity fans

London, 6 March, 2006. Serenity enthusiasts who buy the DVD movie will have a chance to win their own GPS device.

To celebrate the DVD movie release Garmin is giving away five GPS 60 devices. Those who buy Serenity on DVD are invited to take part in the competition: answer a movie-related question and send in the response using a leaflet enclosed in the DVD box set.

The GPS 60 is a compact and lightweight handheld guide to the outdoors for enthusiasts on a budget. It sports a high-resolution, sunlight-readable display with a bright LED backlight, and comes with 1MB of internal memory for storing points of interest.

The unit also offers a dedicated geocaching mode, indoor/outdoor games, an alarm clock, sunrise/sunset and moon phase tables, optimal hunting and fishing times.

Invented by Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, Serenity is a sci-fi feature film based on his earlier TV series – Firefly. It tells the story of a small space freighter trying to preserve a way of life outside the regimented Alliance.
