Re: [mkgmap-dev] Commit: r1882: MapSource installer improvements
thanks, it works now with 1885. I had to adapt my script, because the "_OV" was taken from the nsis name. Map are now uninstall-able from add/remove programs - cool!

Is there a "MapSource for dummies" for us poor Linux guys? I would like to convert the output of mkgmap --index to the device gmapsupp.img format, and I guess I would need MapSource under WINE for that. How would that work? Marko

Me too! Especially the part of "transferring the map to device". Because launching MapSource via wine is ok, but later MapSource refuses to see any GPS device attached... -- Tomas Straupis

Haven't tried wine yet, will maybe do late, currently I'm still using vmplayer, since I have some more "Windows only" tools without Linux replacement. But what for me normally works is: Insert a USB stick and use that as "GPS device", afterwards copy the content to the real GPS device.

Hi, WINE does not support USB devices, so the GPS connection options will be limited when running MapSource in WINE. I can make a serial connection to my etrex after creating the following link to com1: (ubuntu) sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 and then load the kernel driver (if not already loaded) sudo modprobe garmin_gps but I recall that I can't get it to work with my Nuvi which appears to require a true USB connections. I don't think you can create a gmapsupp.img file because of the USB-WINE restriction. Also I am not 100% sure my instructions are complete, because I may have modifications to my system that I have forgotten. The best bet might be the non-open-source (but still free) version of virtualbox from Sun which I understand has usb drivers. Garvan

I have used MapSource under wine for a long time and I can send my maps to devices (nuvi and etrex legend hcx) without problems. At [1] you have instructions on how to install MapSource in Linux and enable usb (step 5); it worked for me. [1] http://www.malsingmaps.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_Mapsource_in_Linu...

Hi Nakor,
I use MapSource with Wine and it works fine.
How do you install and remove (or update) maps? How do you convert them to the device gmapsupp.img format? I guess that you are using the --nsis option to create a map installer? This became urgent since the merge of the index branch, because my Edge 705 no longer can find any streets, even with mkgmap --index. Marko

Are you using mkgmap 1885 or later? With that version, it should work again. Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk, Project Manager/Release Manager SLES SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg)

Yes, I am. The latest try was with r1888, without --index. The device would say "None Found" and "No direction information" when I try to enter a street name or a city. Those are the English texts; I changed the menu language to English for this. Marko

No, I don't use --nsis
