Looking for a way to write a firmware to enable an ipod to speak to a gps unit to upload and download gps waypoints/routes etc.
There is a standard gpx (xml) http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp
And most newer gps models can communicate to a usb port. now the hard part, the creation of the software to convert or add functionality to an ipod.
The software should list the waypoint groups and routes to allow the user to select a specific set to upload to the gps.
From the download side of things, the most common way is to either download all waypoints or all routes stored in the gps unit.
Some newer models come with built in bluetooth, yet more on that later..
I need a starting point can anyone give me direction.
