Garmin GPS SDK for a Garmin watch

Question

I am building an application for a running club. We want to have everyone in the group buy the Forerunner and we want to send our longitude and latitude every 30-seconds to an API. Is this possible?

I'm not sure if I can register a device in the database with a specific runner and then accept the coordinates in real time.

Answer 1

Garmin just released an SDK for the new FR920xt watch, and probably other future devices. Perhaps that will be useful to you. http://developer.garmin.com/

Answer 2

Not live. Running Garmin Connect IQ apps will only be run in a "VM" on the watch, but you want use the phone connection in the CIQ, yet.
