How to download my own app to my device

Hi,

to customize my own device I've developed an app and tested it with the simulator. Now, I would like to bring it to my device. Since it is an very specialized app that has no worth for anybody else, publishing it in the app store just for installing it on my device is no option :(

So the question is whether is there a way to bring an app directly to the device? I couldn't find anything in documentation nor in the forums.

Thanks

You should be able to push it direct to your device from within Eclipse if you are using this. Or you can just copy the app manually into the GARMIN/APPS folder on the watch (which is all Eclipse is doing in reality).

Many thanks, I got it. I just didn't realize what Garmin means by side loading an app to the device's Garmin/App directory. They mean the directory directly on the device, not on the PC. Of course, the device has to be connected for that.
