GarminApi (function)

GarminApi(sResource,sParms,[nTimeout]) : string

This macro function allows you to retrieve data from the Garmin Opencaching.com web site. Documentation for the API can be found here

Resource - Usually just the http:// address of the api section you are using

sParms - This has been reserved for later use. Currently you should just pass sParms as an empty string.

nTimeout - Optional. The number of seconds to wait before the request will time out. Default is 60 seconds.
