Additional Comments

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.

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.
