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 will be a list of parmaters to use with this resource. There will be more, but currently I have just allowed you to enter a username and password. Parms will be in the form of "Token:" followed by the value for that token. Each will be separated by a comma.

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