Can any of it talk to a GPS yet?? I have suites from Garmin, Maptech, Topo.com, and Topo (as sold through National Geographic -- the least satisfactory of all). Last year at about this time, it still took massive effort, time, and help just to get any of them to launch. Now a couple at least launch, and even run, quite nicely, just in plain wine -- except in the m...

...hing else is Fedora 10.) I do so purely for one class of apps, proprietary map software. Wine can now install and run at least one, and the most important, of the four suites of such apps that I have. (That one is Garmin MapSource, including Topo US 2008. XP <gnash> also runs Delorme, Maptech and topo.com.) The one thing Wine can't do yet, afaict, is get the software to talk to my GPSs. XP of course does; I just hate running it. The Garmin mapware is useful under Wine for many things; but it would be a lot more so if I could at least get the data I have added so far to it int...

Hello, I tried to install Mapsource 6 in Wine (20050211.2) on MDK LE2005 but it didn't install... The same with GIDroute which installed but didn't want to be launched. I will give it a try on MDV 2006 but I don't expect a miracle. And the pseudo map applications for Linux are not really what we can consider as useful and easy to handle with...

I had an installation of Mandrake Linux 10.1 (wine 0.9.9) for which Maptech's Chart Navigator functionally worked out-of-the-box. Absolutely nothing was needed to be done to install or run, and everything worked. I attempted to install ChartNav on Mandriva 2007.0 which failed. I then attempted to compile most recent version from source, and Chart Nav continued...

...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 maptech software -- so the hardware isn't the problem, either. The cables use the serial port. My suspicion is that wine isn't telling the software about that.

...hines on my LAN. It whizzed along at great speed for a long time, mostly displaying messages over and over saying either something about permission (denied, I presume), or else about too many levels of symlinks. What I use it for is GPS/map software -- legacy proprietary stuff from Garmin and Maptech, to which I have added a lot of personal data collected over the last dozen years with my GPSs. I'm running Fedora 11 Preview on the target machine at the moment, and have failed even to install the legacy programs; there seem to be parts of Wine that I don't have yet; but the full rel...

...ing Fedora Core 4, trying to get a couple of suites of proprietary map software to communicate with a GPS -- most recently on grc.techtalk.linux from news.grc.com, since that's where the interest seems to be at the present stage. I've made it as far as getting Garmin MapSource Topo 3.0 and Maptech Terrain Navigator 4.02 to do all their things EXCEPT interface with my GPS -- and that's a sine qua non, since I use the whole combination for hunting and hiking. Yesterday, I think it was, I discovered to my consternation that I had no .wine, anywhere, on the machine I've been (mostly) wo...
