send image

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but...AFAIK only way to display image from phone on watch is combination of local web server (phone) and MakeImageRequest (watch)?
I want to start my personal project with offline topo maps so I try no to miss something obvious.

You can request an image from anywhere on the internet with makeImageRequest(). If you are trying to implement offline maps where the Garmin is connected to the mobile phone via bluetooth, but the phone doesn't have an internet connection, you might be able to do it via a web server on the phone. I've not tried, but it could work.

Other than that, you're seriously limited if you want to get image data. There is no other way to get an image dynamically, and once you have the image there is no good place to store it.
