The National Marine Electronics Association named Garmin manufacturer of the year, and 20 products earned top honors in separate awards competitions at the group’s conference and expo, held last week in Orlando, Fla.
A panel of independent judges named Shadow-Caster’s Light Commander Best New Product and gave NMEA’s Technology Award to Furuno for its NavNet TZT16F.
NMEA members also voted online in 18 categories for the Product of Excellence Awards.
“On behalf of the NMEA board of directors, staff and membership body, we congratulate all 2021 award winners,” Mark Reedenauer, NMEA president and executive director, said in a statement. “The entrant count for the Best New Product Award exceeded our expectations, which sends the message that there is extreme value for manufacturers to introduce new products at the NMEA Conference, where only the trade can view these new innovations.”
