Yes, it just might what you have to do. But I would strongly recommend
bitching to TomTom people about this. After all they are ones providing
the software and are ignoring the Linux community. Complaining strongly
to them will at least put this in to their ears. Who knows, after enough
complaints it might actually go in to their heads.

Good luck.
