But what I want to mention is USB GPS Dongles.
Hot plugging a GPS in Linux causes some magic. Linux sees and names the file (assigning a special number) This being ttyACM rather than ttyUSB. (some distros)
1. Plug in the dongle or USB GPS.
2. From terminal
Code: Select all
lsusb
3. Assuming Navigator is installed then
Code: Select all
cd /.wine/dosdevices
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 com7
5. Run Navigator and set com port to com7 baud to 4800 or ? (your units baud rate)
Latest wine 1.7.20 (2014)(although 1.8 is floating around) Google "how to upgrade" for your system.
