Garmin GPS APIs and Toolkits
Garmin is now offering development kits for the budding (or wilting) programmers in us.
The Garmin Communicator Plugin API is a browser plugin and JavaScript support code that allows developers to transfer location data — such as waypoints, track logs, maps and points of interest (POIs) — to and from a website and Garmin device. The benefit of this service to the retail consumer is that the API will simplify loading location data to a Garmin GPS. For example, on MotionBased.com, customers can quickly upload their activities (track logs) from the GPS. The cross-browser, and soon the cross-platform plugin, provide a consistent experience for MotionBased customers. Geocaching.com also integrates the plugin so that users can easily transfer selected geocaches (waypoints) to their Garmin device by clicking a new Garmin
icon on the Geocaching.com website.
