...d them with CXO, opened the Garmin software, plugged a GPS into a USB port, turned it on, let it boot, and told the software to go git 'em. RESULT : We have breakthrough, not victory yet. It got 'em, but only in part. It only got tracks and maps from a rino 120, and waypoints from an etrex vista; but it had said, both times, that either the software or the GPS needed upgrading. They certainly do -- none has had it in years; the software is release 3.0 from 1999, and release 5.0 is out. I take this as proof of concept, and more: I can get the upgrades, and dollars to doughnuts...

...mate for a poor old squirrel hunter with a Very Very Dumb Question? Is wine likely to be able to install and run any of the proprietary GPS-interfacing topo map programs (DeLorme, Garmin, Mapquest, et al.) at any roughly predictable future date? The season opens in three weeks, my GPS (Garmin's etrex vista) is full -- and it still contains road maps instead of topo maps, because I can't upload the good ones from linux (FC1). I'm getting almost hard up enough to break down and run MegaScat for real on some throw-away machine kept offline. How long will it be, if I do, before I can take...

Followups set, hesitantly, to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general I thought I had posted this to both these groups, but my newsreader doesn't show it in either. I have three Garmin GPSs (an Etrex Vista and two Rino 120s), which I want to use under Fedora 11 Linux with four PCs, and two IBM- reconditioned Thinkpads, T30 & T42. Garmin software suites (Metroguide USA and Topo US 2008) are installed on all the computers; both of them launch and run under Wine on all six. Both of them a...

From a complete Wine newbie: I use Wine to run apps related with GPS receivers. I have upgraded from 0.9.33 which came with Mandriva 2007.1 Spring to 0.9.46 from WineHQ. Net result, the Garmin Mapsource app now loads and runs perfectly, which it did not do before. But GPSMapEdit, which worked before, no longer does. Question: is it possible to have to versions of Wine installed, and use one

I have Garmin's topo map software for the USA, 2008 version, and also a very old MapSource MetroGuide (ca. 1998) installed under wine. All is well -- except the biggest thing. Neither program can detect the etrex vista nor the rino 120, using Garmin's cables. The topo couldn't before I added the road maps,so that's not the trouble. Both, on the other (<shudder> XPProSP2 <shudder>) hard drive of the selfsame machine detect both perfectly well -- as do DeLorme, topo.com, and...

Last time I tried, a few years back, Wine was not yet up to handling Garmin's proprietary topo map software. It would install, and sometimes even work, so long as I didn't try to connect a GPS to it. (The ones I have are all also Garmins -- old ones wanting a serial port.) I made a huge effort, for most of a year, with a lot of help from high-powered Alpha Plus Technoids on several
