Additional Comments
Extra steps to get it working: 1) installation copy from windows and import registry, or extract installer, "wine msiexec /i MSMAIN.msi" && "wine setup.exe" 2) running (with a usb-connected garmin gps) - winetricks corefonts gdiplus - "modprobe garmin_gps" each time, or add "garmin_gps" to /etc/modules - "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1", and configure mapsource to use com1 - make sure you got rw access to /dev/ttyUSB0 (ubuntu: make sure you're in dailout group)

This will be added to as needed. Let me know if you have any info that should be in here.
To get 6.15.11 to work in Unbuntu 9.10:
1) Make sure your Wine is up-to-date (1.1.40 is latest known to work)
2) Get Winetricks
3) Run Winetricks
sh winetricks vcrun2005
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.
