Re: Need MEPIS and Garmin info I have a 60CSX at the office and will see what is needed to get it going. I did have it working with TangoGPS at one time.

Re: Need MEPIS and Garmin info I just packaged garminplugin_0.3.3-1 for MEPIS 11 and am uploading it to the CR now.
I wasn't aware of it before. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |

Re: Need MEPIS and Garmin info I am not running a stock Mepis, (sid upgrade), so not sure it would install. But I will attempt it. Hopefully it will not blow away my Garmin software.

Re: Need MEPIS and Garmin info if you have a Garmin unit, can you install the plugin in a VM of M11?

Re: Need MEPIS and Garmin info
That is a thought. I will need to install VirtualBox. I cannot say when I will get to it. I seem to be burning the candle at both ends these days. _________________ Forum Rules Guide - How to Ask for Help Link to Wiki Rich Acer Laptop 5750G: Intel i5, 4 GIG mem, nVidia GT540M/Intel integrated graphics Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.2 M12 Alpha 2 in VirtualBox |

Re: Need MEPIS and Garmin info .
FWIW.... I have an older eTrex Legend with a serial interface, and a USB-to-serial adapter with a Windows driver. MapSource works fine in a Win2K VM (VirtualBox) in M11. _________________ Gigabyte 7ZXE, AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 160GB, 1.5GB, XP, M11, M8.5, Wheezy IBM ThinkPad T43, Intel Pentium M (1.73GHz), 60GB, 1GB, XP, Mepis 11 |
