#Linux garmin mapsource serial
Usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserialĭrivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver coreĭrivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Garmin "tty*" devices but non of them that starts as: ttyUSB Well, in my case "/dev/ttyUSB*" does not appear at all. I did plug the device IN and it was recognized as storage device. I don't have windows at all when I tried to use wine it was looking for USB device but it couldn't find it so I'm not sure if it will work with wine or not. If you plug in your device and then issue the DMESG command, where does it attach itself, if anywhere?

In Windows are you using MapSource? Did you attempt to install it in Wine? I tried it with wine but it can not find /usb port I think it was looking for the pseudo serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 which did not appear for "nuvi" type units.
#Linux garmin mapsource update
I have a free update map 2009 for North America from Gramin webpage but it is an exe type spyware that will not work with anything but Windows computers. There is good Gentoo: HARDWARE Garmin nuviīut it did not mention anything about realtime positioning protocol to work with software like "gpsdrive"ĭo you have any good links as to where to get free good maps that will work with Garmin units? I'm still new to this, I have been an owner of GPS only for a day so I'm still learning. I was running like mad around the net trying to make it to work and in vain :-/ Members of this class of products do not support realtime positioning protocol. Therefore one should communicate with it by reading and writing GPX files instead of using this format. This unit uses GPX format, not Garmin protocol. Thanks for the instruction but I'm afraid it will not work in my case, as I have "Garmin nuvi 250" and all those nuvi and Colorado, StreetPilot, Zumo units are using GPX format, not Garmin protocol according to this source: Wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Garmin/MapSource.exe Install MapSource with Wine as your regular user.Īt the end, don't opt to start the program after the install, instead, start it yourself: Ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com2 You need to define the device in Wine like so: You may need to add yourself to the uucp group. Make sure you can access the GPS, check DMESG to find out where it's being mounted when you plug it in, in my case, it shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0. A Garmin Vista CX (which I just happen to have) You may be interested in this HOWTO from Linux Journal June 2008.

Unfortunately it has been a long time since I wrote this and I am no longer using Gentoo on my desktop system so I would be unable to tell you what might be wrong. home/joseph/.gpsdrive/way.txt: No such file or directoryĪnd under GPS setting "Test for GARMIN" is selected. Though, I can not make my "Garmin nuvi 250" get to work with gpsdriver, I'm getting:Īccess denied for user (using password: YES) Attempt operation with Google Earth and gpsbabel to upload and download point and routesĮcho "app-misc/gpsdrive garmin" > /etc/portage/eĪs gpsdriver does not compile "garmin" by default. Once you re-open it, at the bottom of the window you should see "GARMIN Mode" and your current location should be plotted correctly. In the "Interface" box put /dev/ttyUSB0, and baud 9600 (could be higher since its USB but I just left it there)Īt this point you may need to close GPSdrive and reopen it. Run GPSdrive, once the program is open click on Preferences on the left side.Ĭhoose the "Settings 2" tab and under GPS Settings check off "Test for GARMIN" and nothing else
