Hi .
Has anyone managed to get a TomTom one XL to showup on the USB port under 10.3 i have just purchased one of these as they Run Linux inside but i can not git it to show up at all , Ideas anyone
Pete . Hello,
I just tried with my TomTom Go 910 with openSUSE 10.3. Works fine, the TomTom asks if I want to connect to the computer and I'm able to see my disk and its contents. Michel.
Hi .. yes i can see it as a storage device ok but it is things like the various updates from the tomtom site that are done via the tomtom home system that i want to get going , I have been in contact with TomTom they "say" they have a Linux version of TomTom Home in the pipeline i will believe it when i see it have maileds them again today so will wait and see what transpires .
Considering that they actually use Linux in the device it should not bee too difficult and they also have an MAC version for OSX10.xxx then a linux version shouldbe easy meat , I believe it to be more of a political thing as normal that a difficulty in writing the software ..
Properly written, porting from OSX to Linux should be trivial, Especially compared to porting from Windows to OSX or vice-versa. Keep on this: It never hurts to apply pressure to the sales staff, by mentioning that if they DID produce a Linux version, your place of work might be much more likely to purchase TomTom products for delivery vehicles or other uses. In the workplace, I always play off Sun and HP against each other when I don't see some support that I need in a product. "Oh well... I guess in our next technology upgrade, we're going to have to migrate these machines to <competitor>." That always gets the sales staff buzzing.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
