Garmin opens its devices

Logo_garmin It's something we've been expecting: Garmin has decided to open its devices to developers. The news was released this morning, right at the start of the Where 2.0 conference, here.

Garmin will provide a number of software tool kits on a dedicated web site, allowing to transfer information back and forth with Garmin GPS devices, and to format POIs. However voices are not mentioned in the press release.

It's a very good news for companies like Navx, which will seize the opportunity and expand their content offering to the millions of Garmin customers.

Have a look at GpsBusinessNews, where Ludovic Privat provides extensive additional information.
