Garmin Trip & Waypoint Manager installs but won't run

tcwild · Post by **tcwild** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 5:26 pm

New to Wine, not a Linux expert (but not a noob)...

System: Compaq Presario V2000 notebook, nothing extra.

OS: Ubuntu Linux 9.10

Wine version: 1.1.35

App/version: Garmin Trip & Waypoint Manager/4.00

Installed the app using instructions in the Wine User Manual, and everything appeared to be normal (no errors). When I attempt to run the app from the Wine 'Programs' menu I get a dialogue that says:

'System Locale Error for English (United States)_USA.1252

Please contact Garmin Support for further assistance.

Clicking 'OK' in the dialogue returns me to 'nominal' (the app doesn't run).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

What is your locale? Run program from the terminal and post complete output http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Thanks for the quick response.

Did exactly as detailed; but the log.txt file is empty. There is also no console output when I run the app from terminal.

One more piece of info.. the error dialogue that comes up says 'MapSource' at the top. Not sure; but this might suggest that the app is looking for a 'Locale' that doesn't exist, or perhaps the default map file isn't found?

Thanks again for any help!

Decided to try installing City Navigator, which installed okay; but the 'Unlock Wizard' fails, but...

Trip and Waypoint Manager now runs! Not entirely sure what this means, and I still need to figure out how to get the GPS unit connected.

Has anyone actually gotten all of this (Garmin GPS, TWM, and City Nav) to work?

Sorry to be so late spotting this. I've been trying for years to
do this sort of thing, while Wine gets gradually better and better for
it. The current answer is mostly, sometimes.

Let me expatiate discursively. Using Fedora (currently F12) and
wine-1.1.32-1.fc12.i686 (the latest in Fedora), I can install MapSource
and TopouS2008 on four PCs and two laptops; both do install, so launch,
and do run.

Sometimes I can update one -- I'm not sure how.

Sometimes (more often on the PCs than the laptops) I can make one
talk to one or more of my Garmin GPSs -- an Etrex Vista and a Rino 120,
both of which have Garmin cables that connect to a serial port.

The laptops are a Thinkpad 30 and a Thinkpad 42, both bought
reconditioned from IBM; the 30 has a serial port. The 42 does not, and a
mere serial-USB adapter does no good. Somebody makes a kind of card,
however, which does -- again, sometimes -- do the job.

I'm not familiar with CityNav; I presume TWM must resemble my old
MapSource software.

Once I get waypoints, routes, and tracks into a given machine,
both MapSource and TopoUS2008 do manage them all right; I haven't yet
tried much to put a massaged set back in to replace the original in a
GPS, but plan to once I'm again physically capable of getting to the
woods. I haven't had occasion even to try moving maps back and forth; I
don't travel much.

Hope this helps!

Beartooth,

Thanks for the response and info. I've concluded that Wine isn't really intended as a 'tool' for such things and moved on to use a VM running an XP machine, which seems to work. I've also found that 'Viking' (one of the many good SourceForge apps) will work, talks to my Garmin eTrex via USB, and the maps are free.

To fix Waypoint manager, find sLanguage in user.def and change it to "ENU"
