nav2us.com - API for sending direct to a GPS

Using the nav2us.com API you can load the geodata (data geotagged with lat,lon) direct to your GPS.

The compatible brands you can send to are:

Also you can download the information as a GPX or KML format file.

Doing it is easy, you simply have to create a link from your web site to the following address: http://www.nav2us.com/api/enter_api, giving it as a parameter an XML file address containing the data to send. The file can be created "as you go", or be one physically created in the client web site. Example of an API call:

http://www.nav2us.com/api/enter_api?url_xml=http://www.yourdomain.com/points.xml

The name of the parameter given to it is "url_xml" and it should contain a valid xml file address.

The format of the XML file as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pois>
    <poi>
            <title>Museo del Prado</title>
            <url_image>http://www.nav2us.com/images/userphotos/7/med531.jpg</url_image>
	    <latitude>40.41370843768606</latitude>
            <longitude>-3.6931228637695312</longitude>
    </poi>
    <poi>
            <title>El parque del Retiro de Madrid</title>
            <url_image>http://www.nav2us.com/images/userphotos/6/med51.jpg</url_image>
            <latitude>40.4131692976482</latitude>
            <longitude>-3.6830806732177734</longitude>
    </poi>
    ...
</pois>

Each item of geodata should contain the following information:

title: name of the point.
latitude: is the latitude of the item (in decimal format).
longitude: is the longitude of the item (in decimal format).
url_image: is a valid address of an item (only for generating files with a KML extension).
