I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by many of the current mapping systems and device <non>interoperability. So - I'm considering building a simple site +IOS that <might> do something like this . Let me know if its worth pursuing - or it's just not worth it...
Site Concept: Mainly to be accessed by Smartphone.
1) User can list 'courses' based on current starting location (LBS)
2) Courses will be gleaned from various other mapping sites (RWGPS, Garmin,Strava,etc) or perhaps later - also stored on our servers. But this is not a mapping site - just a course repo.
3) Upon selecting a course, you can transmit it directly to your Garmin Device by ANT protocol. Or, if the Garmin SDK doesn't support it - then we'll make a USB cable option.
4) You would use your regular mapping site otherwise (uploads and stuff), this is just to allow for easy search, selection and transfer of a course TO your Garmin. (Key Value Points).
Oh yeah - I might throw something like this in there, too -- and make the whole prject a Creative Commons. .. http://www.goldencheetah.org/
