Retrieve GGZ file for newer Garmin devices
:: services/caches/formatters/ggz method

https://www.opencaching.de/okapi/services/caches/formatters/ggz

Important note: This is a BETA method. It's interface may change in a backward-incompatible manner, or it may even be removed.

Generate a Garmin GGZ file - an alternative to GPX files, compatible with newer Geocaching-enabled Garmin GPS devices. Internally, GGZ file is a ZIP file - it includes the GPX file, plus an index file which allows the device to access specific geocaches much faster.
