similar to: Copy data from XP to same app under Wine??

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

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>

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 tried doing scp between two machines 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

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

For years, I could install, and sometimes run, legacy private map software under Wine. But in order to connect it with my GPSs, I had to keep a separate hard drive with XP, and do that there. Then came a brief time when I could also actually make my Garmin GPSs talk with the software under Wine. I transferred all my data to it, and gleefully wiped XP off my machine. Then the connecting

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

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

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 most important respect of all.

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)

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

It keeps butting in when I try to install map software from Garmin under Wine. I'm not nearly competent not willing to apply the remedy it suggests. How do I get to someplace where I can disable it, or at least set it to permissive?

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

Very Dumb Question : I have tried about four times now, using an old pentium2 with two hard drives (20 GB and 30 GB) to install both CentOS 4.4 and Fedora Core 6 in such a way as to enable dual-boot between them. I've tried it by installing 4.4 first, and then FC6. I've tried it by installing FC6 first, and then 4.4. I've tried it with and without giving the installer permission to

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,

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

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 picked up some data from the nearest hospital to take to the specialist at the next one, with whom I had an appt.; it came on a CD, which is marked "DICOM Volume with GE Centricity Viewer." When I put the CD into a drive, Fedora 11 auto-mounts it, and fails to find the autorun.exe, which is right there in plain sight. (F11 knows it exists, and asks whether to run it, and then

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
