Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN) has entered a partnership with MapQuest, Inc., a unit of Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX) via its AOL unit.The companies announced plans for the upcoming launch of a new feature that will allow Garmin users to send trip planning results straight from from MapQuest to their Garmin personal navigation device. This will allow users to find a place or to plan and research routes that can then be sent directly to Garmin GPS units with a "Send to GPS" drop down option.
This will also allow users to access previously sent location data from their Garmin devices without needing to input information directly on the device. This new "Send-to-Garmin" feature will be available in April and expands on some existing MapQuest "Send-To" features that already allow consumers to send directions from the MapQuest site to their cell phones.
