I am new to Linux, Ubuntu, WIne etc but despite all that I am operating in Ubuntu 8.10, with MapSource 6.13.6 installed via Wine 1.0.1. I know there is an issue in getting MapSource to recognize the GPS while connected via USB but I am unable to understand the steps provided to solve this issue. I've been advised to enter "sudo modprobe garmin_gps" in terminal and to check the

As most of you know, I've been trying to make GPSs and topo maps usable under Fedora Core 4 linux, using CrossoverOfficePro (CXO) 5.0.1. I've belabored nine or ten specialized lists for six or eight weeks, parcelling out pieces of the problem wherever I hoped they might arouse interest and knowledge. I've gotten invaluable help and encouragement from all of them, on the lists

Garmin's Mapsource versions prior to 6.16.1 worked almost flawlessly. Now with version 6.16.1 which I upgraded, the main map window doesn't draw the map anymore, just a gray tile. You can still zoom in and zoom out, and even pass your mouse to see that its over some road, but you can't see the map. If you open a track, the trackline shows, but not the map. Also, it now requires at

I managed to install MapSource 6.12.4 from the CD using Wine 0.9.59 under Ubuntu 8.04. I could configure the unlock code, see maps, etc and connect to my Zumo 550 to download data OK. The problem is running the update package, MapSource 6.13.7. It executes until the opening screen ("Welcome to MapSource Web Update") and then just sits there. There are no buttons or input boxes anywhere

I have Garmin Mapsource v8 working 100% with Wine and Linux kernel 2.6.16. Transfer from/to the GPS connected to a USB Serial converter on /dev/ttyUSB0 works 100% also. But then, I try with kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 and Mapsource doesn't find the GPS. It's not a Linux issue as I can access the GPS with minicom. Device file permisions are OK. Anyone has and idea of what can be happening

I have successfully installed Garmin Mapsource using WINE 0.9.59, running on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Everything appears to work OK until I try to upload selected maps to my GPS unit. At this point, Mapsource shows a list of detected devices; this appears showing two instances of the Garmin GPS unit name, plus 'removable drives' D, E and I. If I select the main Garmin GPS unit entry to upload

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

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>

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)

Hello! I am trying to install a software called Mapsource with wine. I'm starting up with entering "wine /media/cdrom/Setup.exe" The installation seems to start but then stops and I can read the following in the terminal window " fixme:msiexec:main /regserver not implemented yet, ignoring fixme:msiexec:main /unregserver not implemented yet, ignoring fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA

Hi, I am routinely compiling a package and since I have moved to R 2.10.0, it troncates some section texts in the doc: With the following section in the rd file: \details{ The function calls gpsbabel via the system. The gpsbabel program must be present and on the user's PATH for the function to work see <http://www.gpsbabel.org/>. The function has been tested on the following

Can anyone please hazard a guess at an estimate 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

With snarls and curses and gnashing of teeth, I still keep one laptop and one dual-bootable PC hard drive with XPProSP2 installed. (Everything 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

Back in 2000 I went on a mission to get rid of windows completely from the house. I succeeded in 2007... however, the company I worked for is using the Apple iPhone for their phones... so now I'm right back in the mess with windows. I was just curious what would it take to get the following working flawlessly in wine. (besides a miracle.) 1. iTunes (with USB support for updating the

I'm running Garmin MapSource and TopoUS2008 under Wine on Fedora 10 Linux. I want to find the highest point on the highway from my house to my in-laws', a couple hundred miles away. The routing function insists on straight lines some times, and follows roads other times -- regardless how I edit my preferences. How do I make it go the way I want? Once I do get it to do that, and then

With wine-1.1.14-1 under Fedora 10, EasyGPS launches, finds, and correctly identifies my Garmin GPS (something Garmin's own software under wine still can't do); and it tries to copy my waypoints. It even claims success; but then it gives endless pop-ups (277 of them, at a guess -- the number of waypoints it says I have). By the time you close all those, it crashes; and on re-launch,

Hi , I am new to Linux and to wine. Under Suse 7.1 I tried to use wine for the first time. I tried to install the Benelux map ("Garmin mapsource"). First error: For language 'english' several language ids were found: en_US - 0409; en_GB - 0809; en_AU - 0C09; en_CA - 1009; en_NZ - 1409; en_IE - 1809; en_ZA - 1C09; en_JM - 2009; en_ - 2409; en_BZ - 2809; en_TT - 2C09; Instead of

Skimming through Fedora's routine updates, one day not long ago, I noticed the string "garmin" -- and just now thought to try one more time to make one of my GPSs (all of which are Garmins) talk to my legacy proprietary map software. IT DID IT! This is the best computer news I've had since I began running Linux, back in '98 or '99. It means I

Very Dumb Question here -- basically, am I in trouble? Or in other words, I have to ask myself a Falstaffian question: "Which .wine, Bezonian?" Let me expound. On several lists for different parts of the problem, according to their interest and my best judgment, I've been pursuing the topic of GPS/topo map settings, under Crossover Office Pro 5.0.1 (CXO) using Fedora Core 4, trying
