DISQUS

Phanfare Blog: Garmin disrupted by the iPhone

  • GaryP · 10 months ago
    Garmin just needs to improve the interface on the 60csx et al. My 60csx right now has 15,000 waypoints stored. Every cache in Washington plus those bordering WA in Oregon and Idaho (just in case). This waypoint also tells me who hid the cache, the date it was hidden, the date it was last found and a code showing Found or Not for the last 4 logs.
    It also has the complete hint for the cache stored as a separate waypoint.
    The only thing missing is the text of the cache.

    To do all this requires a complex macro. Garmin needs to make this easier. A simple gpx file should be able to be loaded into the gps. The capacity of the data card should be the only limit as to what can be loaded.

    Sorry to rant :)

    So how long before I can connect my camera to my iPhone (when i get one) and have Photon automatically copy and upload my photos? Seems like a direction things could go in.

    We think this is a great idea but we are not sure that apple provides the necessary USB support. we are guessing that it will be possible on the hypothetical apple touch tablet when it is released. that point we will have gone full circle and Phanfare Photon will be a downloadable desktop client!
