Garmin Device Interface SDK


 Share

Recommended Posts

I like autoit! This scripting language is big helper for me, it's comprehensible and with autoit I have no need other programming language as C, C++, etc. However, I found on the http://developer.garmin.com SDK for communicate with Garmin GPS units, but it's write for C++ only . This SDK is very useful for transfer (export/import) waypoints, tracks, etc. Ufortunately, I don't know C++ and I can hardly rewrite this for autoit. It's possible rewrite this SDK for autoit? Anybody interesting in working with C++ and GPS? Such a plugin for autoit would be very useful at least for me... Sorry for my English.

.... I have no need other programming language as C, C++, etc. .... Ufortunately, I don't know C++ and I can hardly rewrite this for autoit. .....

Hmmm... to say one has no need for another language yet ask someone to translate because they lack the ability to understand -- well call me crazy but that seems like a good reason not to dismiss other languages. Regardless if the language is programming or spoken. For example I currently have no need for Marathi (spoken in Western India) since I don't care to listen to a Marathi conversation or translate it into English. However if I were intersted in the conversation then I would want to learn Marathi even if I never plan to speak the language. Point? We all should be careful what you say and try not to contradict ourselves. Tough sometimes, yes, but a worthy goal. And yes you are right, Autoit is great!

you may want to try www.poiedit.com - its free and converts almost all formats

Cool link, thanks nobbe!

Poiedit is cool tool for conversion waypoints format, but I don't need a convertor. I would admire to transfer data bidirectionally with GPS units for backup, etc.

Yes you are right, I agree. Sooner or later I planning read up about c++, but presently im very busy and autoit is great way (and fast) for many solutions what i need. I only hoped, that somebody can help with translation from c++ to autoit. Sorry if you don't understand, but I don't speek English and I don't know how to put it... :">

Idea: Just modify this existing C SDK example to DLL. This will be MUCH simpler then translating all C code to AU3.

Then you may use DllCall() from AU3

EDIT:

DLL will have exported these functions:

Initialize()

SendPacket()

GetPacket()

thanks for tip, Zedna. I'll try it out.
