Re: SERIAL PORTS , COM PORTS AND EXTREME FRUSTRATION ON GPS
do you have a download link for any of the garmin versions? guess I won't need no license or map data as I just want to see the GPS (not) working
I'd be happy to give it a try on a linux vm with virtualbox pass-through for com3.
just to add one more layer of indirection, what could possible go wrong? ;-)

Thanks Karl good post.
dll can be added (I've not done it) through wine config from menu. My reading yesterday mentioned having all packages in the same directory whatever that happens to be.
Another thing is the serial number required by Garmin. Did I read to use the computer serial number NOT the GPS number?
sudo lshw #may help you see hardware i.d.s from terminal.

Garmin serial is found inside the program after it is loaded...

Re: SERIAL PORTS , COM PORTS AND EXTREME FRUSTRATION ON GPS
these three additional system.reg lines should enable com3 gps for garmin 5.00.70g
yesterdays dot net guess was wrong
not sure if the below mentioned mfc42.dll is required for garmin, it was required for some other gps tool
the gpsd and gps-client packages are only required for testing on linux. they have no benefit for running wine software.
how to reproduce:
does that work for you?

~$ cmatrix
I will try this tonight and let you know...

Re: SERIAL PORTS , COM PORTS AND EXTREME FRUSTRATION ON GPS
the number seems to be a timestamp
cmatrix is deep haxxxor shit, it will tell you the unlock code if you stare at it long enough ;-)
best #satellites I got so far was 5, without location fix

EDIT: I'm using wine-1.6.2, not sure if that matters.

Re: SERIAL PORTS , COM PORTS AND EXTREME FRUSTRATION ON GPS
So....the three lines at the top are the answer and the rest is just how you got there?

Re: SERIAL PORTS , COM PORTS AND EXTREME FRUSTRATION ON GPS
yes, the three system.reg lines are the answer - if they indeed are the answer.
(i didnt get a fix yet and shawn didnt confirm that it is working for him yet)
the rest is information on how to reproduce the whole thing for someone starting from scratch
