Cool Garmin Feature using Google

Post by keithbennett on 9/5/2008, 3:19 am

Not sure how many of you have seen this but I thought I would pass it along. Great trip planning feature!
Garmin Connect Photos adds a new dimension to trip planning and navigation. From the comfort for your computer, you can virtually explore a new area by browsing an extensive collection of location based photos from Google’s Panoramio. Like waypoints, each photo has GPS coordinates. When you stumble upon a vista, building or flower that you want to visit, simply add the photo to your staging area. The staging area acts like a shopping cart for your selections, but these photos are free (thanks to the Panoramio community).

Then to send photos to your device, simply connect the device to your computer with a USB cable and click "Send to Device." Once transferred to your device, they can be found in your Where to > Favorites. The only requirements are: a myGarmin account, Garmin Communicator plugin and a supported device: nuvi 205, 205W, 255, 255W, 265T, 265WT, 275T, 500, 550, 755T, 765T, 775T, 785T, 850, 880 and 5000.
