hello I am facing the same problem and I do believe that we have to complain. It is the only way they know there is a market out there who want Linux. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 4:41 PM, H.S. <<a href="mailto:hs.samix@gmail.com">hs.samix@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">LAMP wrote: > Mark Syms wrote: >>> Message: 2 >>> Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:01:24 -0500 >>> From: LAMP <<a href="mailto:lamp@afan.net">lamp@afan.net</a>> >>> Subject: TomTom on Ubuntu >>> To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" >>> <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> >>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:4A367054.3000504@afan.net">4A367054.3000504@afan.net</a>> >>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed >>> >>> does anyone has any experience attaching TomTom GPS (my model is XL-S) >>> to the Ubuntu machine to be able to manage TomTom-s feature, do >>> update/upgrades etc.? >>> >>> afan >>> >> Unfortunately, although the TomTom devices themselves run Linux the >> management software is all Windows or Mac so you can't do anything with >> them from within Ubuntu. >> >> Regards, >> >> Mark. > > What about other GPS brands?

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. -- Please reply to this list only.
