4) If you've had a version of MapSource running previously and had to install gdiplus, you now need to disable it.
Open winecfg, go to the libraries tab, select gdiplus and remove.
5) Run the MapSource 6.15.11 installer.
6) Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add a # to comment out the following line:
blacklist garmin_gps
so that it appears like this:
#blacklist garmin_gps
7) Load the garmin_gps module:
modprobe garmin_gps
8) Create a symlink so that Mapsource can find your gps:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ./.wine/dosdevices/com1
9) Run MapSource and enjoy.
WARNING
Native GDIPLUS that was generally needed to get MapSource working with versions of Wine prior to 1.1.40 no longer works. Switch to using the builtin GDIPLUS as of 1.1.40. It appears to work well now. Cheers to the Wine team.

Error installing
by J.F. Levi on Sunday April 4th 2010, 20:33
I am trying to install the update "North America NT 2010"
The previous version was working OK, except the communication with my 376c was iffy at best.
Now, when I enter this command:
>>> $ wine c:\\Garmin.City.Navigator.North.America.NT.2010.30.update\windows\\setup.exe
I get this error:
>>> err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L"IMG\\USB_32.msi" to L"C:\\windows\\profiles\\jf\\Temp\\msi70e6.tmp" (3)
The name of the file "msi70e6.tmp changes at each run ...
If I got this to work, I could get rid of Windoze :-)

Updating MapSource
by Andrew on Friday March 12th 2010, 19:37
I had an issue updating MapSource to the latest version using the updater from Garmin or the built in update menu entry.
On the command line I got the following error:
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT"
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR80.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\andrew\\.wine\\drive_c\\windows\\temp\\Garmin Software Updates\\MapSource.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\andrew\\.wine\\drive_c\\windows\\temp\\Garmin Software Updates\\MapSource.exe" failed, status c0000135
These errors were alleviated by installing vcrun2005 using winetricks. Note that I actually installed vcrun2005, vcrun2003, and vcrun2008, but I believe 2005 is the one that is needed, so if that does not work install them all.
ttyUSB0 doesn't exist
by Santiago Gil Francisco on Thursday December 10th 2009, 10:02
Hello, I'm a new user of ubuntu, my version is 9.10. I followed this guide and Mapsource runs well, but when I tried to do the symbolic link I saw ttyUSB0 doesn't exist. Can anyone help me? Where do I have to do the symboli link now? Regards
cannot connect to eTrex Vista through USB
by Chris on Monday April 27th 2009, 23:01
USB connection has worked fine for me with earlier version of both wine (probably before 1.15) and Mapsource (6.13.*), but it stop working suddenly after a wine update a while ago. If I forced to search for device, the whole program freeze and I cannot kill the resulted defunct mapsource process. Any thoughs?
winetricks needed
by Ted Garrison on Friday March 6th 2009, 11:48
To get the buttons to show, install winetricks and use it to install "corefonts" to get the buttons on the installer to show. Also install "gdiplus" through winetricks so that it will run.
