Again, the kernel is working here, you just need to copy the proper files to the device. I do that all the time with my Garmin device.
Greg,
I also have a Garmin Nuvi, and I would love to be able to update it from Linux. Could you please document the steps you take to update it (or point to an existing doc) ?
I couldn't even register it on Garmin website, let alone download the map updates, as they require you to install some ActiveX in your browser to identify the device. Not an option, as I don't have Windows.
TIA

My father has a TomTom OneXL as far as I know the only way to update the software is via TomTomHome sure i can see it as a mass storage device, but is there a how to somewhere the describes how to download the file and where on the device to apply them in order to get the latest updates?
That's one of the beefs I have with TomTom, their GPS's runs Linux with some form of convoluted FAT partition. About 4 years ago I backed up a TomTom Go 700 to Linux successfully, applied some updates and when restored all the filenames appeared as lowecase only and the device was bricked. I had to RMA back to TomTom to be fixed. I never worked out whether the problem was FAT support on Linux at that time or something strange on the GPS. I do transfer mixed case files to FAT partitions on Beagleboard and to USB keys regularly without such a problem. The commercial guys do some strange things - I have seen some Linux firewall distros that were designed to work only with Windows. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
