No prior experience with the platform so big learning curve.
Biggest issue is understanding Garmin's "Standard Operating Environment" (SOE)
As our sailing app is deeply involved in tracks, courses and routes I am interested to discover the details of the facilities available to me as a developer to interact with these features.
For example,
- is it possible to record the GPS values of SOG and COG in the GPX track file?
- Can I persist other data that may be downloaded from our web site, such user ID, yacht name, yacht characteristics etc?
- What are the characteristics of a "course" or "route"?
- What facilities are there for a user to define a course?
- Is there any documentation at a level between the very high level Programmers Guide and the API Docs which assumes a detailed understanding of Garmin SOE?
