It’s a corporate blog. What do you expect them to write?

“The features of our GPS allowed a passerby to save an overboard boater. Really any generic GPS unit from Walmart would have done the same though.”

As I said, they're certainly free to say whatever they want to say. But people are free to criticize what they chose to write.

A less hamfisted approach would, for instance, remove the quotes from the guy which were clearly prompted by the PR folks at Garmin.
