When I am touring.. I tend to use my iPad and google maps, plan what I wish to do, then manually spec out waypoints and routes on my garmin GPS slowly and painfully with the map function and waypoints. Its a terrible way to work but thats the limitations.
I am near certain there is no way to connect the GPS via a USB adapter and send waypoints to it are there ?? I read a technical reason why this cant be done as a garmin connection but fail to understand why this couldnt be done in USB mode, if you can read and write to a USB stick under iOS, which you can, why cant this be done when the GPS emulates a USB stick ??
Is there any iOS app, similar to oruxmaps, that allows the loading of unlocked garmin FILENAME.IMG style maps ?? Even just for the browsing of the mapset ?? Or to make waypoints and routes that can be emailed ??
Of course the holy grail would be an app which allowed me to open the gramin format map, set waypoints and routes, plug the GPS in in USB mode (or bluetooth for the later models), and send it the days planned route.. Basecamp/Mapsource for iPad effectively.. Too simple I know. I have a dream folks.
Anyone using iOS has any tips ?? What about android ??
