Garmin Submitted bid for Lowrance

So Garmin is reportedly submitting a bid for rival Lowrance. The other day we reported that Simrad Yachting seeking to merge with Lowrance to form a new subsidiary called Navico (see story). Now it appears that Garmin has submitted an offer for Lowrance. In news coming out after the news on Simrad, it appears that garmin was interested in and may still be interested in acquiring Lowrance.
