Comments on: Garmin Releases GPS APIs on New Developer Site

In a rather unexpected turn of events, Garmin has launched a new developer site, containing a plethora of information intended to help mobile software developers "make their website, applications, and data content compatible with Garmin navigation systems." This announcement coincides with this week's 2007 O'Reilly Where 2.0 conference in San Jose.

Garmin are currently offering six basic toolkits/services on their developer site: Communicator Plugin, MotionBased Web Services, Content Toolkit, PeerPoint Messaging System, Location-based services (LBS) Toolkit, and Fleet Management Interface.

PalmOS is dead.

This could spur tighter integration between Linux devices and Garmin Bluetooth GPS receivers!

Giggle.

Garmin's secret third business?

Ah Ha! It looks like Garmin had a secret business, too!

But they didn't say, two years ago, "We have a secret business, but we won't tell you anything about it." So, now we're pleasantly surprised by Garmin, while being massively underwhelmed by Palm.

Maybe Jeff Hawkins should take note.
